Melbourne Dental School Mentoring Program
Mentoring is a relationship in which an experienced mentor provides guidance and support to a current student. Mentoring is a mutually beneficial partnership in which both individuals grow and develop through the process of sharing and listening.
The Melbourne Dental School Mentoring Program is a one-year, semi-structured program that fosters relationships between experienced practitioners and students in the final year of their Doctor of Dental Surgery or Bachelor of Oral Health studies, enhancing their transition from dental school into the professional workforce.
