"The training is very hands-on from the get go, which is hugely beneficial for us graduate dentists."

“Otago prepared us well for the 'real world'. We got trained in best practice so our standards are exceptionally high."
Joanne Choi
Dental Technology offers graduates a host of career choices, says Joanne Choi, who is now lecturing at Otago while she completes her PhD.

We would like to encourage Māori students to apply for Dentistry as more Māori dental graduates are needed.
