In the final episode of the NextGen series, Michael Klein sits down with three dental students from the University of Sydney: Michelle Kourieh, Jamieson Wong and Victor Lin — for a wide-ranging chat about student life, clinical firsts and life after graduation.

They cover everything from their favourite dental instruments and dream travel destinations to the moments that made them fall in love with the profession, the hand skills that pushed them hardest, and the best advice they've picked up along the way.

Michelle reflects on the reward of her first scale and clean, Jamieson opens up about the long road to mastering indirect vision, and Victor shares the mentor-driven mindset of ‘marginal gains’ that's shaped his final year. 

It's an honest, funny and occasionally emotional send-off to a series that's followed students through the highs, lows and everything in between of dental school.
