Post #3
It sure has been a while,
hasn’t it? I finally feel like I have the time to sit down and write a quality
blog post. I apologize to the multitudes waiting with bated breath for this
post.
I was fortunate enough to pass
Part 1 of the National Board Dental Examinations in July. It is a huge relief
to have that hurdle successfully behind me so that I can focus on my clinical
skills. There is definitely room for improvement in all aspects!
After Boards ended, my
classmates and I have been transitioning from the lecture halls into the
simulation clinic where we are learning clinical procedures and honing in on
our “inner dental skills.” It is amazingly motivating to think that in 7 short
months I will be treating my first (live) patient! Here are a few pictures of
things I’ve been working on since my last post.
My first gold crown
Next time Dr. Evans makes you a temporary, remember this picture. I made 5 temporary crowns before I finally got one to work properly. There is serious skill involved when he successfully makes one of these bad boys on the first attempt. Practice makes perfect, right?
