Academic Research

  1. Grantee | August 2019

Grace has been awarded top research scholarships towards her passion for special needs dentistry especially around syndromes that effect facial development such as cleft lip and palate. While working as a House surgeon at Christchurch Hospital Grace has also spent time volunteering her dentistry skills in rural Vietnam. In 2015 Grace achieved a grant to attend a European Conference where she was selected as a Conference speaker. She has gone on to make presentations at international symposiums in Melbourne, Edinburgh and Stockholm. Today’s scholarship will assist her accepting a Fellowship to the world leading Great Ormond Hospital in London. Her goal is to treat patients overcoming adversities and one day build a foundation similar to the Fred Hollows legacy. Congratulations Grace on achieving the Clare Washington Memorial Scholarship.
