Dr Erica Hwin

As a curious storyteller and avid asker of questions, Erica has been podcasting since she was a third year dental student to document her clinical experiences. After graduating from The University of Sydney in 2022, she began practicing in Brisbane, where she continues to share her journey and growth as a young dentist navigating the profession.

In 2024, Erica launched The Graduate Dentist Podcast to create a platform for open and honest conversations about the challenges and triumphs all young dentists face. With each episode, Erica aims to create a supportive space and a go-to-guide for students as they make their transition from university into real-world practice. 

Beyond podcasting, Erica is deeply involved in the Graduate Dentist community and is passionate about making dentistry feel a little less isolating. She frequently organises social meetups across Australia, presents to university students, and collaborates with industry leaders to bridge the gap between experienced clinicians and new graduates. She has also created an exclusive online forum where graduates can connect, share resources, and support one another without fear of judgement. 

Through her various initiatives, Erica hopes to build a thriving community where young dentists can feel supported, empowered, and ready to tackle the many hurdles that come with the profession with confidence.
