    Burnt Out, Overwhelmed, But Finding Reasons To Smile | Episode 8

    This week in dental school, the going gets tough as Johan and Uwais experience ever-increasing levels of stress as the end of the year gets closer and closer. We take some time to unload a bunch of thoughts around burnout, feeling overwhelmed, and finding a way to move forward despite the stress. It's not an easy time for anyone, but the only way forward is through, and the only way through, is together. Keep smiling :) Hosts: Johan de Klerk (Final Year Dental Student) Uwais Adam (Third Year Dental Student)
