Hi Steve,

Well here I am back again at dental chat and now I'm officially a dental student . I got into University of Sydney Dentistry and just started early last month. I am loving the course and its contents as well. I feel it is quite well structured and in tune with what is required and expected of modern dentists.

I have some questions though which I guess can only be answered by those in the profession.

I know it seems early to think about specialisation but I am keen to do it. Is there some sort of limit or restriction to the amount of dentists accepted into specialties each year?

Also, is there some sort of dental research institute which has research positions available on a temporary basis for say...over the summer at the end of this year. See I would love to do honours in my final year and entry in to that is dependent on some past research experience (of which I have none). Could you perhaps lead me in any direction if you know of any?

That should do for the time being :P..I'm sure I will have more questions to ask which I'm sure will be thought of by other students as well.

Thanks in advance for the help and answers

Jay
