1) The First question is: Why are you applying to ATSU Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health (ATSU ASDOH) and what makes our school different from other dental schools?
write a response around 450 words that talks about their
“Center for Oral Health Research (COHR) – The A.T. Still Research Institute’s Center for Oral Health Research (COHR) spans across both the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ASDOH) and the Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-MOSDOH), with Center Co-Directors on each campus. Advancing the breadth and scope of oral health research is critical to both schools’ mission and goals.”
Don’t repeat the information just given in the last sentence in quotes, but summarize it talk about how my previous dental research experience in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) and my recent personal trauma (my fiance passing away from cancer) has motivated me to attend a ATSU ASDOH to become a dentist and to further research in oral cancer.
Mention how their school’s research institute Center for Oral Health Research can help me realize my dental research professional goals in life, or something along those lines that sounds good and me sound like a strong dental school candidate.
Also talk about how their dental school has a patients-centered systems curriculum; Here is some background info on this system: ATSU-ASDOH’s curriculum begins with foundations of dental medicine, which is a semester of orientation to all of the sciences supporting clinical dental medicine.
The curriculum transitions to a patient-centered systems model in which all student learning is clinically contextualized. For instance, human sciences and treatment planning are taught alongside the principles of evidence-based dentistry and the exam and diagnosis of patients.
In the first two years, courses prepare students for the curriculum expected during the clinical rotation experience. During the third and fourth years onsite and local clinical rotations are the focus. The clinical curriculum is comprised of labs, didactics, workshops, and advanced care procedures, then the students choose regional rotation sites.
2) The second question is, “What changes do you think we will see in the profession (being a dentist) in the future?
Talk about how there needs to be more dental research, which can be applied to dental medicine and how dental informatics can be used in the future to improve patient care. Also add whatever additional content here that will make me sound like an exemplary dental school candidate to become a dentist while talking about future changes in the field of dentistry.
