Description

This week we chat with CQUni's very own 'tooth fairy' - Associate Professor Leonie Short.
You'll learn how this daughter of a Hunter Valley GP became a force to be reckoned with in the practice, training and promotion of oral health in Australia. You'll learn about her early days as a dental therapist working out of a caravan at a school in Tumbarumba (one day it froze up) and the road to heading up Queensland's only Bachelor of Oral Health course. You'll also hear how she even became the 56th woman elected to the House of Representatives.
