Student Profiles: Melbourne Dental School

31 May 2021

Meet former OzTREKK student Deepak, who’s currently in his fourth year at Melbourne Dental School.

In his vlog below, Deepak explains his educational background and how he prepared to study dentistry in his undergraduate degree. Check out Deepak’s story for your own hit of “dentistry” inspiration!

“For any students who are interested in studying dentistry,” Deepak says, “I would say try and contact your local dentist and learn a bit about the profession, and maybe even spend some time observing. Make sure to take courses you enjoy and will excel in, as well as all the prerequisite courses. It is a long journey but worth every step.”

When asked what his plans were, Deepak admits he is committed to working hard toward his DDS—both clinically and academically.

“I also want to stay busy connecting with my family and friends (virtually) during this COVID period and continuing my old and new hobbies,” he says.
