I am in dental school now and was inspired as a kid because of these types of videos/documentaries on the discovery channel. You have my deepest respect.
A year before dental school I volunteered to help patients be more comfortable in the omfs emergency clinic. I got into the dental school at the same hospital and still observe/assist one day a week to continue giving back. I keep a running list of the procedures I see and questions that I have for the residents/attendings. I really want to go on a Mercy ship one day and a mission trip. How do you go about doing this? When do you start planning on doing it? I am a first year dental students and I am not perfect didactically and accept that oral surgery is very difficult to get into, and a huge time commitment. But it is my dream to do one day touch and improve lives much like you have. It seems like the most purest form of joy. thanks!
