We welcome new dentists, as well as interns, residents and registrars, to join in our recent graduate ministry.

Top resources:

Yearly program:
  • January: Intern Boot Camps. Held across Australia, these camps ensure practical and spiritual tips are shared with our interns to help them survive the transition between student and doctor.
  • April: IMPACT conference, geared towards students and recent graduates, looking at practical ways to combine our faith with our medical and dental practice.
  • October / November: Recent Graduate Retreat - a time away to recharge, renew and be refreshed. This is not a heavy, content filled conference but a weekend focussed on building relationships and learning from one another.
I look forward to connecting with you!

In His Service,

Dr. Joel Wight
National Recent Graduates Worker
