The International Dental Student - From Ukraine to Egypt to Slovakia - IC047

Dental Student in THREE different countries?! This is a story of grit and determination. I hope that it will allow us all to reconnect with that burning desire we once had to enter our profession.

In this episode The International Dental Student - From Ukraine to Egypt to Slovakia, we meet Nav, AKA the_stu_Dent who has had the craziest journey as a Dental Student. Not only defined as a mature student but as a British-born overseas one now working his way to qualifying in Slovakia, with hopes of eventually returning to the UK where he wants to practice full-time soon.

Check out this entertaining episode, where we uncover what makes the_stu_Dent tick and why he ended up pursuing Dentistry with such determination, the highs and lows, and how he ended up trying at 3 different Universities in 3 different countries, just to fulfill his dreams.
