Two main things I learned during my one week internship:
- School can’t possibly teach you everything. Actually, I knew this going in, but spending a week at the clinic showed me more clearly that the learning never stops, and that I need to be adaptive in any type of clinic situation I go into.
- Always keep abreast of the latest dental technology. Equipment and material in dentistry is constantly changing and evolving.
Overall, my internship experience was great. I now know certain areas that I excel in, and areas for improvement. I also realized even more that I’m passionate my budding career in dentistry and I’m looking forward to evolving into an even more knowledgeable assistant.
