Think about a time you educated someone on a complex topic, and walk your interviewers through your process. Keep in mind that for a dental student, utilizing available technology can be very useful when teaching. Customizing your approach based on the person's learning style is also important. Ensure that your interviewers walk away from your time together knowing that you value and emphasize patient education.

"During the fourth year of my undergraduate program in Biomedical Sciences, a professor asked if I would tutor some of the freshmen and sophomores who were struggling in their chemistry classes. This was a great opportunity to hone my skills in teaching difficult topics. I taught one particular pair of students the concept of thermodynamics using a step-by-step learning approach. While this approach seemed slow to me, I could see their progress, and they were able to apply it to their coursework after just a couple of days."
