Ellie Bergin teaches final year dental students!
Some of our patients have asked why I don’t work on a Monday. Contrary to popular misconception it isn’t because (as one patient recently remarked) I’m out playing golf!
I spend my Monday’s teaching final year dental students. I find it incredibly rewarding. Not only do I have the opportunity to impart my knowledge and experience helping train tommorrow’s young dentists, but I also find it keeps me up to date!
Bart’s and the Royal London school of medicine and dentistry (like all dental schools) ensures that all students are taught to a gold standard of clinical techniques so being involved with teaching the 4th and 5th year students really keeps me on my toes!
But there’s another secret. Unlike the main site of Barts and London, which is in smoky central London. The facility I teach in is in Southend, so the teaching is not only rewarding it’s by the seaside!
Now thats better than playing golf.
