As promised – the 2nd episode in a week specifically for new graduates looking to map out their career.
After last week’s episode on making a Dental Portfolio, this time we are joined by Dr. Ajay Dhunna, a soaring young dentist who graduated in 2018. Join us as we uncover his journey from dental school to becoming an associate, and gain valuable insights on how to excel in your dental career.
Communication and collaboration are crucial aspects of dentistry, and Dr. Dhunna emphasises their significance. We look at the value of shadowing clinicians in different areas of dentistry, attending conferences, and networking events – discover how these interactions can sharpen your language and communication skills!
