Jamie Dickie

About

I originally graduated BDS from the University of Glasgow in 2009. I then completed vocational training (VT) in general practice and dental foundation (now CT1) posts in hospital and community health services. My hospital placement allowed me to gain experience in Restorative Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine. During this time, I also complete the membership examinations for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow’s Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS). From 2011 to 2013, I worked as a Senior House Officer (now CT2) in Restorative Dentistry, Paediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, before being appointed as a locum Specialty Dentist in Restorative Dentistry. In 2014, I was appointed Clinical Lecturer/Honorary Specialty Registrar in Restorative Dentistry at the University of Glasgow and subsequently obtained a Master of Education (MEd) in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education in 2017. I am currently working on a PhD study alongside my specialist clinical training.

Restorative Dentistry involves the restoration of diseased, injured, or abnormal teeth to normal function. This includes all aspects of Endodontics, Periodontics and Prosthodontics and Implantology. In the first article of a two-part series, Jamie Dickie, Specialty Registrar in Restorative Dentistry, discusses a career as an academic in this field.
