Your interviewers want to know whether your level of interest in continually learning your craft extends beyond your formal education. Career-minded professionals are fueled by a desire to stay current on all developments in their field. This way, they can more ably connect and interact with their peers while staying ahead of the curve. Whether you subscribe to Dentistry Today or the Journal of the American Dental Association, make sure you also read through Temple's Diamond Magazine and any acknowledgments, recent news articles, events, or contributions they've made to the community or student body. This will drive home the sincerity that you possess a drive to stay up to date on industry trends, breakthroughs, dentistry-related concerns, and more. Use this opportunity to generate some memorable conversations with your interviewers by asking what their favorite ways to stay in touch on dental-related current events are.

"I read Dentistry Today and Journal of the American Dental Association regularly. In addition to these medical journals, I also subscribe to DentalEconomics.com. It's important to diversify where my news comes from, and I would love some fresh suggestions. What are your favorite places for news on current trends?"
