Staff Profile

Emma Robinson

Clinical Fellow

Background

Background

 

I am a PhD student and dental educator with a clinical background in OMFS and general dental practice.

 

My research interests lie in dental education particularly the role students emotions play in learning and practicing dentistry.

 

My main teaching interest is clinical teaching of Oral Surgery and contribute to and lead a number of courses within the School of Dental Sciences.

 

I love travel and I have worked and volunteered aboard, I am able to share this passion with students as I am also the lead for the School of Dental Sciences Elective Programme.

 

Clinically, I work in Oral Surgery and in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and am involved in teaching and clinical supervision of Dental Core Trainees.
