Interview teams at dental schools ask candidates about the books they are currently reading for two reasons.

Dentistry News and My Morning Routine. I have read new technology and interprofessional education in the medical field. I am interested in 3D printing in dentistry and how a dentist works with other health professional fields. My Morning Routine is a very interesting book as well because it gives ideas on how important for people to handle the morning effectively. I did learn a lot of concepts from it.
