Welcome back for another great episode of the Noobie Dentist podcast, in this episode I talk with Dr. Darryl Torculas (IG: @barbells_and_burs). Darryl studied dentistry at Indiana University School of Dentistry and went on to complete a 1 year GPR at the Ohio State University Wexner medical center. He is now working in private practice in San Diego!
Dr. Torculas is an awesome down to earth guy and has become a good friend of mine. In this episode we talk about a broad range of topics including GPR vs Private practice, finding your first job out of dental school/residency, dental photography and our shared passion for the millennial side hustle! We had some poor internet connections at times so please don’t mind that the audio is a bit glitchy at times – this podcast is full of dental pearls for new grads and dental students!

Welcome back for a truly great episode of the NoobieDentist Podcast!
I’m super pumped about this episode with Brandon Walker, who after spending 10 years with the United States Marines decided to back to school and become a dentist. As a mature dental student, Brandon has been doing some pretty incredible things in and out of dental school. In dental school, his lifelong hobby of photography is being put to good use and he is producing some high quality photos of his high quality work. With an affinity towards prosthodontics, you should check out this Instagram page (@prosthabilities) so see his pretty sweet hand skills at such an early stage of his career.
In this episode we explore many topics including paths of success during dental school by becoming aware of and utilizing local dental associations and study clubs that often allow students to attend for free. We also talk about the role and importance of vision and working towards practicing dentistry on your terms. Corporate vs traditional associateships and thoughts on specialising are all covered in this episode as well! I really hope you check out this episode as it is packed with high value information!
