Here’s What You Need to Know First – IC076","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2595,"description":"Ever fancied teaching dental students part time… but no real idea how you’d actually get in?\nAre you the kind of person teaching would energise — or quietly drain?\nIs a PGCert in dental education actually worth it, or just wishy-washy theory?\nAnd the honest question nobody asks out loud: does it pay anything?\nThis is an Interference Cast — the non-clinical arm of the podcast — with Dr Rima Hussain, a general dentist who teaches restorative dentistry to undergraduates at King’s a couple of days a week. It’s a candid look at what a career in dental education actually involves: how to get in, who thrives and who burns out, what the work is really like, and the honest truth about the pay and the rewards. The bigger theme: dentistry is a career you can mould in endless directions — and for the right person, teaching is one of the most energising of them.\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/DzmcM-SbD68\nWatch IC076 on YouTube\nWhat You’ll Take From This Episode\nThe full self-assessment and the step-by-step route into a teaching role are in the Premium Notes. Here’s the shape of what we cover:\n\nAre you built for the classroom? — the two-camp self-check (energised vs drained) that predicts whether teaching will recharge you or wear you down.\nHow to actually land a role — the ‘BDJ Jobs’ plus pick-up-the-phone route, and why “who you know” so often cuts through the application process.\nRelatability as a strength — why being closer to a student’s level can beat decades of experience for an absolute beginner.\nBack to basics — the “monkey see, monkey do” risk from YouTube and AI, and what the tutor’s real job becomes.\nThe honest pay-and-balance picture — why you don’t do it for the money, what you do get, and how teaching and practice keep each other fresh.\n\nHighlights of This Episode\n\n00:00  Teaser\n01:08  Should You Teach Dentistry?
