Abstract

Whether the clinician has recently qualified or graduation day is a distant memory, it is important for him/her to be aware of the alternative options available outside of the general practice setting as these are not always fully explained. It is essential that one enjoys their career choice when even a brief consideration is given to the length of time that one will spend at work and thinking about work, including the additional hours spent in the workplace for countless other reasons. The author worked as a general dental practitioner for several years at different practices. However, dissatisfaction with the daily routine eventually led to a crossroads and a new chapter of his professional career blossomed at a later stage in life. This article is aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates alike, so that others can learn from the author’s unconventional career pathway.
