Welcome to the 2023 edition of Dent-AL.
Since arriving at Melbourne Dental School, this has been my first year when I have been able to see how the school really functions thanks to the COVID pandemic impacting 2020 into 2022. Much has been achieved in 2023 and we have a clear path and plan of action beyond this year.
