The Dental Head Start Podcast FEATURE #78 – Overcoming Decision Paralysis as a New Grad with Dr Alex Khominsky
It goes without saying that a trait of our industry is being high achievers. What comes with big dreams is often big decisions, and when faced with too many, we can find ourselves inflicted by decision paralysis.
What kind of dentist do I want to become, what kind of practice do I want to work at, what kind of people do I want to surround myself with? Do I want to specialise, do I want to go into research, do I want to become a practice owner or do I enjoy general dentistry for what it is? These are all decisions that can be very overwhelming.
In this episode, we speak with Dr Alex Khominksy about his journey in dentistry, from a dental student with a hunger for knowledge, working his first year in a tertiary referral centre before transitioning into private practice, then beginning his post graduate training in periodontics, all the whilst co-founding the General Dental Residency on the side.
Dr Alex Khominsky
Dr Alex Khominsky graduated from the University of Adelaide as Dux and Moore Medallion, he went onto work at Alfred Hospital and afterwards private practice in the Melbourne area. Always involved in the profession through ADA and Societies, he is a firm believer in the power of a community and supporting other early-career dentists in their pursuit to be amazing clinicians. Through that belief, he co-founded General Dental Residency as an education community geared towards helping dentists excel in comprehensive general dentistry. He is a Clinical Demonstrator at the University of Melbourne and is currently pursuing his postgraduate studies in Periodontics.
