Many dental professionals are talking about the 'COVIDfied future' of dentistry. The interviewers want evidence that you maintain an interest in current events and other conversations that may impact your future as a dentist or a student. Feel free to explore the impact COVID has had on the education system.
NYUD educates nearly 10% of dentists in the USA, and COVID has clearly impacted their university and the dental industry. Discuss what you know about the impact of health pandemics and how they leave an imprint on the dental profession.

"COVID-19 and other pandemics have left a significant impact on the dentistry profession, including how we treat patients, the increased demand for clean air technology in dental offices, the increased demand and risk put on support staff, and PPE supply and demand. One significant impact that interests me most is how we will triage patients, ranking their needs from elective care to urgent care to emergency care. For instance, during the COVID-19 quarantine time, when most dentists were forced to shut down and stop offering regular cleanings and general care, many practices had to determine better what qualified a patient for acute care. I look forward to learning about the long-term impact as I dive deeper into the dentistry profession."
