WHAT HAVE OTHERS SAID ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS?

Dr David (Melbourne, Victoria)

“It is a very logical and structured program for not only new grads out there and also for me and my colleague as well.”

Dr James (Sydney, New South Wales)

“GDR is great value that helps you get the foundations to become a good dentist.”

Dr Adina (Melbourne, Victoria)

"I found it interesting that we got to use different systems. It’s been very helpful having the help and support of more experienced dentists.”

Dr Irram (Melbourne, Victoria)

“I have 3 years of experience and still think this course is really helpful because of the interesting content.”

Dr Ellie (Darwin, North Territory)

“It’s been really good for me for covering all of my foundations… and learning new techniques.”

Dr Vagisha (Sydney, New South Wales)

“Really amazing people with supportive environment to help you out!!”

Dr Vy (Melbourne, Victoria)

“Fresh perspective on ways to improve my skill from specialists and dentists who are experienced in certain areas.”

Dr Bernie (Ballarat, Victoria)

“All the components of the course were timed really well with cases I had coming up. Having access to Specialists was really great.”

Dr Penny Teo (Adelaide, South Australia)

“I think it’s one of the best lectures I have attended. It’s been really interesting and engaging.”

Dr Nazneen (Melbourne, Australia)

I would recommend this course to anyone because it’s all about fine tuning the bread and butter of dentistry. I never did surgical extraction in the past. Now I am doing them My suturing has gamed up that even my nurse noticed and commented how smoothly my fingers work. I confidently do composite veneers.

Dr Ryan (Sydney, New South Wales)

"I would recommend gDR because it is a good well-rounded CPD program that covers all the main fundamental aspects of dentistry. Upon graduation, there is a lot to still learn in the world of dentistry. However, a good place to start would be to solidify your bread and butter dentistry with gDR.”

Dr Stella (Townsville, Queensland)

“I really enjoyed every module. My DA commented that my suture skills have improved, anterior and posterior composite resin with good anatomy etc. Now I am doing most of my work with rubber dam and loving it. And every speaker from gDR was very approachable. I really appreciate it.”

All of this delivered with excellent support, mentorship, and strong social program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is the General Dental Residency aimed for?

The residency was designed to enhance and continue the learning experience to go beyond the basics, and excel in the foundations of all facets of general dentistry. We’ve had anyone from new graduates to 18 years post graduation experience go through the program and find success. The main factors for success is having the mindset for growth, wanting to learn and excel.

I'm from interstate or rural, can I join the Residency?

Yes, we have many interstaters who have joined our program (WA, SA, NT, QLD, ACT, NSW, TAS). Our program is designed so that the in person workshops (5 weekends over a year period, e.g. once every 2 months) maximises hands-on activities, while online academics and mentoring can be done remotely from your home base. Our hands-on is currently based in Melbourne, Victoria.

Do I have to take much time off work?

No, the Residency is designed for dentists and we know how hard it can be to take days off! Our workshops are over 5 weekends across the year, the mentoring is online and after hours, while the online academics can be done at your convenient hours

Is the Residency a big workload?

Beside the hands-on workshops and mentoring, on average an additional 1-2 hours per week is recommended to review our online academic content.

Where is it?

Our in person hands-on workshops are held in Melbourne (Australia), we work with a number of venues to maximise your experience depending on the workshop. You will have over 3 months notice of the event space once you’ve registered. The mentoring and academics is otherwise online from your home base.

I want to join but don’t think I can afford it?

The program costs a few hundred dollars per week! On average our Residents improve their income by 25-35% during the year of the program, and get multiples on their return. Education is always an investment and the Residency is designed to be of the utmost greatest value, where organising this program yourself would easily cost $20-25,000. Nevertheless, we believe in ensuring everyone is able to afford amazing education. To register and secure your spot all that is required is a 10% deposit. The remaining 90% can be paid via direct deposit or through a 12 month payment plan via our Finance Partners at Credabl.

How does the mentoring work?

We know how important it is for recent graduates to be able to get support in their daily practice. The mentoring is designed to maximise your learning from hands-on workshops by giving you the opportunity to ask follow up questions and find ways to implement new skills into your own private practice. Our mentors are often dentists who have 10-15+ years experience with an extensive skill set in dentistry. You will be added to a private chat with your mentor to be able to help you get any pressing questions answered, and also meet them online monthly over the duration of the program to go through case discussions and present your cases. Mentoring will conclude with an end of year presentation and feedback from mentors. Our mentors are from across Australia (VIC, NSW, QLD) so we do our best to connect you with Mentors in your state to allow for opportunities to observe and network

Could I take individual modules instead?

The program was designed as package so we can be accountable to your growth and development. On average our Residents improve their scope of practice in aesthetics, prosthodontics, molar endodontics, surgery and income by 25-35% during the year of the program, and get multiples on their return. This way we can provide the greatest impact and value to dentists hence we do not offer individual modules except on an ad hoc basis.
