#ASDAPredental: ADEA Pre-dentistry self assessment



ADEA Pre-dentistry self assessment
Considering applying to dentistry school in the upcoming application cycle? Self-assessment is an essential part of readying yourself. Here are a few reflection questions to get you started:


  • Are you involved in an extracurricular activity that has exposed you to other cultures? 
  • Do you feel you are a culturally competent person? 
  • What do you know about the daily lives of dentists and what their jobs involve other than looking inside peoples' mouths? 
  • Have you worked to improve your manual dexterity? 
  • Have you done things to improve your chairside manner?

See the following link for further insight and self-assessment considerations from Dr. Robert Kasberg, Jr., Associate Dean for Admissions at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.  Click here.

The American Student Dental Association (ASDA) is celebrating National Predental Week this week: February 8th-14th.
