Success Story

Premium Dental Advisor Program

How This Dentist Secured 120% ROI & a New Income Stream Within 2 Weeks of Joining the Program.

Introduction by Dr. Namrata (Founder, CEO)

Dentistry can feel repetitive, leading to burnout, but career opportunities extend far beyond the chair. One exciting path is the medical device industry, yet breaking in requires more than clinical experience. MedTech companies seek professionals with business acumen, a skill-set many dentists lack but can develop.

That is why I created the Premium Dental Advisor Program (PDAP), a first-of-its-kind, 3-6 month program, designed with the everyday full time clinician in mind. We equip dentists with the knowledge, mentorship, and industry connections to transition successfully into MedTech.

Take Dr. Janaine, a Global Dentists’ Pool® member. Within two weeks of joining PDAP, she not only gained hands-on experience in dental product development but also earned back more than her initial investment through the program’s unique earn-back opportunities. Now, with access to career coaching, recruiter networks, and priority industry projects, she is better set to thrive within the MedTech space.

Her journey from clinical dentistry in Brazil to a PhD in Belgium highlights how the right guidance can fast-track career transitions. If you have not heard of Dr. Janaine Prata de Oliveira yet, now is the time. Her story is proof that dentists can successfully bridge the gap between clinical practice and the corporate world.

Janaine's Story

Dr. Janaine Prata de Oliveira’s journey into the MedTech space is a testament to the power of strategic career investment for dentists. Through the PDAP, she transformed her clinical expertise into a corporate-ready profile, securing a paid industry project within just two weeks of joining the program.  

Not only did she gain firsthand experience in medical device development, but she also earned back more than her initial investment through PDAP’s unique earn-back opportunities.  

Her story highlights how the right education, mentorship, and industry exposure can fast-track career transitions and unlock new professional opportunities. 

If you haven’t heard of Dr. Janaine Prata de Oliveira yet, now’s the time. She’s a powerhouse of skills, and it was my absolute pleasure to support her career expansion into the MedTech space through her successful completion of the Premium Dental Advisor Program (PDAP). 

Janaine has explored a variety of clinical and non-clinical fields. Her journey began in Sergipe/Brazil , where she earned her degree in dentistry. After years of hands-on patient care, she sharpened her communication skills in patient education, treatment delivery, and preventive dental care. Alongside this, she discovered her passion for Pharmacology & Biomedical Sciences, leading her to pursue a master's degree & PhD in the field in Belgium. 

Realizing that a corporate career could be the ideal way to apply her growing expertise, she sought to transition. That’s when I met her and I was immediately impressed. 

Here was a medical professional who knew what she wanted. Yet, like many others who join PDAP, she faced a common challenge: getting noticed by recruiters and attracting the right opportunities. 

Engagement & Career Breakthrough

The Pharma and MedTech industries share many similarities, but they also have key differences. Janaine saw the value in expanding her understanding of medical device development, an area that made perfect sense for her given her background as both a clinician and a pharmacologist. 

And she didn’t just learn - she thrived. 

Not only did she absorb the modules at lightning speed (a testament to her determination!), but within two weeks of joining the program, she landed her first paid 510(k) project for a dental product. 

Yes, you read that right - two weeks!  

This part-time project was a game changer for her: 

  • She gained real-world industry experience for her resume. 
  • She solved the classic "catch-22" of needing experience to land a job. 
  • She earned back her initial investment in the PDAP through paid opportunities. 

PDAP’s earn-back scheme allowed Janaine to profit from her education. Every participant has the chance to recoup at least 50% of their investment through industry projects, research support, article writing, and more. Janaine went beyond that and made back more than she paid within two weeks! 

On top of that, she now has direct access to career coaching: 

  • Recruitment support from two industry coaches. 
  • Career roadmap guidance from a career coach. 
  • Personal branding coaching to optimize her online presence. 

"I highly recommend PDAP to anyone looking to transition from clinical practice to the dental industry.”

“The Premium Dental Advisor Program has been better than I expected. It has provided me with rapid and valuable learning about medical devices and their regulatory landscape. Medical and dental regulations can be complex, but PDAP simplifies this information, making it clear and accessible.  

The program offers hands-on experience, bridging the gap between learning and real-world application - an essential factor for success in the dental industry. In fact, just four days into the program, I secured my first project: a 510(k) FDA submission. It’s truly an incredible opportunity! "

PDAP as an ideal resource for dentists to access corporate opportunities

 

MedTech companies prioritize industry expertise over clinical experience. They typically hire non-dental professionals with skills in business strategy, regulatory affairs, clinical affairs, medical writing, sales, or marketing, then consult clinicians when needed. 

PDAP helps you reframe your approach and develop expertise in multiple MedTech fields while positioning your clinical background as a value-add, not the core skill. This shift is essential to climb the corporate ladder.
