203: From International Dentist to Dental Hygienist: Andreina Sucre’s Journey
Episode 203
Tuesday, 10 November, 2026
How did Andreina Sucre @ThePathoRDH become a dental hygienist without going to dental hygiene school? We're explaining it all in this episode, talking about Andreina's path as an internationally trained dentist from Venezuela, with a background in oral pathology, to becoming a licensed dental hygienist in Florida. She discusses the licensing process, the financial and time investment, adapting to a new dental system and culture, and how she prepared for the transition. Andreina also shares how mentorship and networking have helped her build a space in oral pathology and dental hygiene as The Patho RDH. Highlighting her story is important not only for other internationally trained dentists planning to move to the States, but also for traditionally trained dental hygienists to have perspective on what it all takes for them to practice at the same level as us. Understanding this process brings us together as a profession and helps us support one another.🟠Start here: Get dental hygiene school tips, free resources, and access to upcoming student events → https://dentalhygienebasics.mykajabi.com/newsletter🟠 When you're ready for boards: Become a StudentRDH VIP member → https://www.studentrdh.com/national-dental-hygiene-board-review-nbdhe-studentrdh-vip-club?utm_source=Referral%60&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=DHBasics&utm_content=DVIP3🟠Want extra support + events?
