Personal Testimonial: 

I really value the guided experience I have had in complex extractions, paediatric community, orthodontic and the oral med/surgery clinics as the clinical knowledge and experience have been so transferable to general practice. Being exposed to a lot of dental specialists means I can make an informed decision early as to where I want my career to take me. (JDFCT2 Testimonial)
