Studying Dentistry Can Be Stressful! – PS004

Clinical Dentistry is a steep learning curve – it can be frustrating, frightening and quite frankly exhilarating.

This episode (better late than never! My wife finished her MSc so now I’m back on track!) picks up the theme of Stress Awareness and I discuss with Emma Hutchinson, our Protrusive Student, how students can manage stress effectively, prioritize their studies, and identify their unique learning styles. 

We also address imposter syndrome and the various difficulties encountered while learning something as complex as dentistry.
