Description
The process of applying and getting into dental school can be stressful, but successful time management is key. I will speak about strategies I applied to be able to obtain my undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry in 3 years and go straight into dental school. Dental school came with many difficult challenges, but those amazing moments that reminded me why I pursued this career in the first place always prevailed. My experiences on my mission trips to Jamaica are ones that I will always cherish. Having graduated from dental school 3 years ago, I will speak about my transition from student dentist to practicing general dentist and what that entails in the real world! Dentistry is a field that is constantly advancing and challenging you, and requires not only mental but also technical expertise, but you can make a difference everyday by giving patients a healthy, stable mouth and restoring confidence in their smile. I encourage you to see what everyday life can be as a dentist, and if that is what you truly want to do, don’t stop until you reach your goals.
