Manual dexterity and having steady hands are prerequisites for any doctor, especially when making small, precise movements with sharp medical instruments. Again, if you've taken your DAT, share your dexterity score.

"I have excellent manual dexterity and good hand-eye coordination. I have played the piano from the age of four and believe this training helped me develop the dexterity needed from a very young age. Of course, as a dentist, I must continue to develop my dexterity. I have recently taken up drawing and plan to teach myself to cross-stitch. I thoroughly enjoy working with my hands and am eager to apply this enjoyment to my work as a dental professional."
