BIO
Professor Ellakwa currently holds appointments as Chair for Oral Rehabilitation, and the Coordinator for Integrated Clinical Dentistry B unit of study (DMD3 and DMD 4).
Since my arrival in Sydney in 2007, I have been leading administrative and academic positions within the University of Sydney, Dental school, which has allowed me to be involved in the students’ life throughout a variety of aspects. I worked as BDent 3 Subdean for five years mainly engaged in managing student academic life within the faculty of dentistry. Then after that, I was appointed by Professor Chris Peck as BDent 3 and 4 Subdean for another four years. Later with the start of the DMD program, I became the DMD4 academic year coordinator, and I continued my involvement with dental students to make sure their educational goals have achieved. I have extensive experience in dealing with and facilitating the daily academic life of dental students during their clinical course, which can be difficult at certain times.
Professor Ellakwa worked with a team of academics within the faculty of dentistry to modify the dental curriculum and change the program from BDent to DMD program.
