In 2017, whilst studying at the University of Glasgow, Dr Michael Brown won the British Endodontic Society (BES) Harty Student Essay Prize. He discussed his experience:
“I was encouraged by Professor Will McLean, who later became the BES President, to enter for the Harty Student Essay Prize. I have always had an interest in endodontology, and was eager to take things further. Will pointed me in the right direction, and I wrote an essay on the topic of resorption. This was a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot about a more complicated condition. Having won this prize, I was given the opportunity to attend the BES Regional Meeting in Edinburgh where I met lots of nice people. I believe this was my first experience of networking in dentistry, which was very valuable for me.”
“Whilst the profession has a big online community, day-to-day it can sometimes feel very focussed and independent, so I feel that the BES provides a good opportunity to connect with colleagues.”
