Dr. Musseau's path to dentistry was an unusual one. Were it not for sheer determination and a great deal of commitment, he might have remained an employee of CN Rail. We think it's a story you might enjoy knowing.

Dr. Musseau finished his formal education with high school and was more than eager to take advantage of the opportunity of employment with CN Rail, a major employer in Port Aux Basques at that time. As he had a history of working with CN while in high school, it seemed like a natural progression to become a reservation agent with the gulf ferry services. He eventually moved to Moncton, NB, where he apprenticed to become a Machinist with CN. We like to say that his involvement with train tracks came long before his interest in the train tracks used in orthodontics!

But thankfully for all his patients there was an interest in furthering his future. After five years in the workforce, he enrolled in the University of Moncton, primarily a French language institution, and managed to undertake enough courses in English to enable him to qualify to apply to Memorial University (MUN) in St. John's, Newfoundland, for a pre-dentistry program. While working three evenings a week and on weekends with CN, he completed his program at MUN resulting in his acceptance at Dalhousie University (DAL) School of Dentistry. While attending DAL, he continued to work part-time with university security services, with CN in the summer and also as a handyman whenever he could take on additional work. His graduation in 1983 was a welcome reprise from eight long years of work, study and commitment that left him little time for social activities or relaxation.

It is little wonder that someone who has followed such a challenging career path continues to maintain a high regard for life-long learning and a respectful dedication to his chosen profession. He often recalls how along the path people, including his family, simply told him it couldn't be done. With no background in chemistry, physics or biology and work experience as a ticket agent and machinist, setting his sights on dentistry was a foolish dream. Well, Dr. Musseau is convinced that foolish dreams can become fulfilling professions if the desire to succeed is only given a chance to manifest.
