The Brush Up
Fresh-Out Fridays: Meet Sarah Amr
There's a moment in every new graduate's journey when you realise the textbook doesn't have all the answers. When you're faced with a complex case, a nervous patient, or an unexpected complication, you suddenly have to think for yourself.
This is Fresh-Out Fridays, where we sit down with early-career dentists who share the unfiltered truth about navigating those early-career moments that dental school didn't quite prepare you for. In this episode, we're joined by Dr Sarah Amr, who chose to return to her Western Sydney roots after graduating from the University of Sydney. Sarah opens up about the realities of private practice, building trust with diverse patient communities, and why she's passionate about bringing quality dental care to underserved areas.
We'll explore how to balance taking advice with developing your own clinical instincts, the importance of finding the right mentors, and why reflection is the secret ingredient to becoming a truly confident practitioner.
So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's brush up on what it takes to find your voice as a new dentist.
