CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hello everyone!!

I´m studying dentistry, I´m in 2nd year and the truth is that many times I have thought about the changes that could be made in the study program, sometimes I think that th
ey should mix some subjects, remove some not so important units and that the schedule don´t be so extensive.

In the first year of the career I consider that there´re contents that could be removed to make the academic load more enjoyable. I would leave physics and chemistry only in the 1st semester and eliminate some not so necessary content.

In the second year I have 3 subjects that I consider to be very similar, since sometimes the same themes are repeated, these are: Evidence-Based Dentistry, Anthropology and Health Promotion. What I would do with these 3 subjects is to unite them, to have less workload.

I know that with some modifications to the study program, the career could last 5 years, since 6 years still seems a bit excessive, apart from the fact that in other countries the dentistry career lasts less.

Regarding the online classes, I liked the methodology because I can better organize my time, see the classes again and I can sleep much more than I would sleep in face-to-face classes. But I would like to have more face-to-face activities next semester because I think that always watching classes through a screen is a bit tiring and affects concentration.

Have a nice day!

TIME TRAVEL TO THE PAST

I always think that I would love to have a time machine to travel back in past. Why to the past? Because it fascinates me to see how the world has changed and how different 2021 is from what it was 1650, for example.

Where else I would like to go from the past would be to the time of classicism in Europe, in the second half of the 18th century. I would like to go to this time because I like how people dressed so elegantly, women with those big dresses and very crazy wigs! I would also like to listen to the music of the time, to listen to Mozart and Beethoven in their stardom would be a delight and I also want to marvel at the works of art.

I would like to go with my family because I want them to see and enjoy the same things that I do, apart from that if I were alone I would miss them.

What we would do with my family would be to go to an opera or a classical music concert, we would also travel through many streets of Europe to be enchanted by the architecture. 

Although everything looks very nice, I think I wouldn´t like to stay there since I
wouldn´t feel so free in that society because I probably couldn´t study dentistry and I would miss technology a little hahaha.

Have a good day! 😊

MY FUTURE JOB

I’m considering to work as a dentist because it´s the career that I´m studying at the university but specifically I’d like to be an oral rehabilitator or implantologist, for this I would first have to do the specialty of oral rehabilitation or implantology. So, I want to work in one of those two specialties because both are quite similar and focus on returning a smile in a functional and aesthetic way to the patient.

My work would be more of an indoor environment since dentists are established in a public or private dental consultation and I would´t have to travel as part of my job. I´ve in mind to work in a public consultation because I feel that public oral health is much needed since people with limited resources cannot access it due to the high costs of private health.

Apart from working as a dentist, at the same time I would also like to work as a university teacher of preclinical activities in dentistry because I like to teach and share knowledge in an interactive, concrete and theoretical way.

Within my expectations is to work from Monday to Friday, since I would´t like to work on weekends because I feel that one must have time to rest and recover after a strenuous week.
