The YDA launch
The Young Dentist Academy, or YDA, launched their course on the October 16, with a fantastic evening of lectures held at Ivoclar Vivadent’s brand new state of the art International Centre for Dental Education in Leicester.
Martyn welcomed lots of young dentists to the event, and introduced YDA: Martyn Amsel, Nazia Alyas and Katharine Cordoner, who all spoke about their journey in general practice and why they set up YDA.
They recognized that young dentists have far less experience at undergraduate and at Foundation Training level than they ever have had before. That lots of young dentists were feeling too scared to take on more complex work in case of complaints and litigation. To increase their confidence, they attend courses that are often too advanced for their level of dentistry, leaving them more disgruntled and isolated.
A few dentists spoke about how they had just done exactly that and felt that despite starting a formal university post graduate course, they were looking for a course that could enable them to practice dentistry relevant to general practice. Hence were really excited to attend and learn about the YDA course; Confidence, Competence and Contentment in GDP.
