Hello. My name is chris Winter home.

I'm excited to do this video and hopefully you get

a chance to learn a little bit more about me.

I wanted to share a few photos with you.

Uh This is my wife Margo.

Uh We took this photo a long time ago.

This is one of our engagement photos.

She and I got married back in 2004 and we

now have four Children together.

This is our oldest daughter, Autumn, she's a freshman in

high school.

We've got our second dollar daughter Marley, who's 1/7 grader

in junior high.

And then we've got to elementary school kids.

We've got Acadia in 6th grade and indie in fourth

grade. And if you're asking yourself does he have four

daughters? Uh the answer is yes, yes, I do.

Um the other two members of our family are these

tool puppies right here.

We've got mira on the left and willow on the

right. Um they're both about four years old and that's

our tiny little family.

One thing about us that you may not get from

our application is we love sports.

Um specifically we love BYU athletics, whether it's football, basketball,

anything relating to BYU sports, but most of all we

love the phoenix suns.

We were so happy that they made it to the

NBA finals and came so close to winning their first

championship and we had a a lot of fun rooting

for them this year.

This is the three of us.

We recently did a sprint triathlon where we um did

a 400 m swim, 12 mile bike ride and then

ran a five K.

My older two daughters actually came in 1st and 2nd

in their age division.

This is us.

The graduation, I went to Arizona State University and graduated

summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Biology.

And then in the summer of 2018 I started dental

school at 80 still university.

Um since being at 80 still I've had some great

opportunities to do research and to attend conferences like here.

The american Dental Society of Anesthesiology is annual conference.

So what led me to dental anesthesiology and specifically Illinois

Masonic? um I got hooked with dental anesthesiology from day

one I went and was introduced to it by D.

A. at 80 still and decided to go out and

start shadowing.

And from the first time I shadowed I fell in

love with it.

I loved everything about it.

The pharmacology, the physiology, the patient management.

I loved everything about it and that was early in

D two year.

And ever since then I've been hooked and done.

I've tried to do everything I can to make sure

I get into residency.

Um What specifically led me to Illinois Masonic is um

the lasting legacy that their residents that your residents are

going to leave on the field of the uh dental

anesthesia. Um The residents said Illinois Masonic are in a

unique position to be pioneers in their program.

They are going to be the ones that develop a

program that will train future dent dentist anesthesiologists and I

think that is an amazing opportunity.

I know you're looking for superstars and you're asking if

I'm that type of person in your presentation, you brought

up one word indefatigable and I think that is an

excellent word.

And the other word that I would kind of go

along with it is grit.

So you get you know, not only strength of body

but strength of character to with those two words.

And I would I feel like those two words kind

of define who I am um when you bring me

into your program, I'm not going to be the type

of person that just You know, checks in works in

the hospital for his you know 60 hours and then

goes home at the end of the day.

You know, I'm the kind of person that's going to

give you 100% effort, 100% of the time where I'm

there to take advantage of every opportunity possible to be

the best Dynasty Dennis anesthesiologist that I can be dental

anesthesiology is like any other field, especially in the mobile

aspects where you're going from office to office and you're

by yourself.

Um it takes a lot of character, a lot of

strength, a lot of fortitude to be able to handle

those situations and a lot of preparation, but I think

by doing those things, you're creating an environment where people

can get access to care that may not otherwise receive

it, which is a great opportunity.

So tell us someone uh when I was working in

a group and and they didn't pull their weight.

So um I came across this more in undergrad that

in dental school, but um I specifically had a class,

a zoology of vertebrate zoology class where um we were

doing a presentation and one of the group members wasn't

doing what he was supposed to and it was kind

of stressful.

Honestly what we did is we communicated with him to

try to find out what we could do to help.

And it turned out that his mom was sick and

so he was having to work more to kind of

help support his family um by communicating with him well

and trying to help work around his schedule.

We actually were able to create a great presentation and

it wasn't um a lot of additional effort on our

part, it was just a matter of additional communication that

we had to give um describe an experience where I

I had conflict with a classmate or co worker.

Um I kind of, recently this past week had an

incident where I was mentoring D.

Two with his first surgical extraction.

Um Our communication styles were a little different and it

kind of made it for a stressful situation for both

of us.

What I would go do now is um again communicate

better with him, I would probably ask better questions on

you know what my expectations were and what I knew

his expectations were of the procedure.

Um So that way it would run a little bit

smoother. Um Everything turned out ok.

We got it was an excellent extraction.

Um but uh I think a little bit better communication

between the two of us would have made it a

little smoother.

Thank you so much for your time and have a

great day.
