You’ve heard me say it before:
Helping Dental Students Become Great Dentists
This is our motto and our mission. So, it makes perfect sense to have Dr Rohan Krishnan on the podcast to share his views, experience and vision with the Dental Head Start community.
Dr Krishnan has spent many years contributing to ADA NSW, initially on and then as chair of the Recent Graduate Committee and more recently as a Board Director. He is also on the board of Filling The Gap and runs his own private practice.
Impressive, yet my interest was peaked when he shared his new project with the University of Sydney. Dr Krishnan has put together a course for Usyd students to help them with transitioning to private practice. Together with hand chosen people from his broad network of passionate, excellent colleagues, Rohan is able to make a difference at the coalface. And I truly hope this becomes an Australia and New Zealand University wide approach.
With such aligned visions and missions, I could’ve spoken with Rohan for hours. For now, I hope you find his experiences and generous advice as useful and engaging as i did.

The Prime Head Start Segment is right after the feature interview and this episode it’s with Phillip Palmer, founder of Prime Practice.
In this challenging time we’re all considering and wondering about what comes next. What does the new dental landscape look like? In this unique PHS segment, Phillip shares his views and advice post COVID-19.
