QUESTION 8 OF 30

Do you like to keep up on news, discoveries, and events in the dentistry world? If so, how do you do that?

Dentistry has evolved so much over time, and any practicing dentist needs to be open to learning new methods and ways of treating their patients. This is especially true in recent years as technology continues to advance in the field. Your interviewers ask this question to see if you have an interest in continually learning your craft as a dentist.

"During dental school, I was introduced to some great publications like Dentistry IQ and Dentistry Today. I subscribe to both and love the variety of topics they cover, like current news, new technology, and research in our field. In addition to these medical journals, I also subscribe to DentalEconomics.com. It's important to diversify where your news comes from, and I would love some fresh suggestions. What are your favorite places for news on current trends?"

In your answer, mention any dental journals or publications you like to read. If you have any subscriptions, be sure to let your interviewing team know. You should also talk about the importance of any dental societies or organizations you are involved in and talk about how they have helped you learn over the last few years as a dental student. You can also talk about any social media you have found in the world of dentistry.
