Welcome back for a truly great episode of the NoobieDentist Podcast!

I’m super pumped about this episode with Brandon Walker, who after spending 10 years with the United States Marines decided to back to school and become a dentist. As a mature dental student, Brandon has been doing some pretty incredible things in and out of dental school. In dental school, his lifelong hobby of photography is being put to good use and he is producing some high quality photos of his high quality work. With an affinity towards prosthodontics, you should check out this Instagram page (@prosthabilities) so see his pretty sweet hand skills at such an early stage of his career.

In this episode we explore many topics including paths of success during dental school by becoming aware of and utilizing local dental associations and study clubs that often allow students to attend for free. We also talk about the role and importance of vision and working towards practicing dentistry on your terms. Corporate vs traditional associateships and thoughts on specialising are all covered in this episode as well! I really hope you check out this episode as it is packed with high value information!

Welcome back for another fantastic episode of the NoobieDentist podcast!

This is my first episode after publishing my initial series of episodes last week! I am so excited that the show has been downloaded in 6 different countries!! A big shout out to Australia for the most downloads! It's so cool for me to be able to talk to new grads like me from all over the world and even cooler that people from around the world are listening to it. For me personally, this podcast and my instagram page allow me to stay in touch with friends from dental school in Melbourne.

In this episode I had a great conversation with a great friend of mine, Dr. Scott Buckley! Scott graduated a  year ahead of me from Melbourne Dental school and is now in British Columbia, Canada working as an associate in an incredible practice that I am frankly pretty jealous about!

I hope you enjoy this episode!
