Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Career research project: family physcian. Becoming a dentist requires a lot of hard work dedication but the factor that motivates you to face these difficulties is the actual pleasure gained when you are able to change someone’s life by creating a beautiful and healthy smile for them and the joy of which could not be expressed. 1. Why did you choose this particular career? I chose to become a dentist as being a child I had to visit a dentist many times for correction of malaligned teeth that I had. So my dentist who was also a specialist in the field of orthodontics inspired me deeply as it gave me a vague idea of how can I also bring smile and self confidence back to an individual by providing him with a competent smile again by incorporating the blend of my hand creativity and mental alertness, same as my dentist did for me thus returning me my self esteem and the confidence to smile again .Thus I found this field very satisfying and fulfilling. 2. What personality characteristics are likely required for this career? How does you own personality match/not match? As a dentist one should be strongly determined to devote selflessly for the betterment of humanity .Patient usually have a lot of expectations from their dental surgeon so I believe that a friendly comforting and assuring attitude, healthy communication skills, ability to understand and cooperate with patient and last but not the least is to work hard and selflessly for the genuine wellness of patient. A dentist should thrive to learn the new advanced techniques being introduced, he or she should possess interpersonal skills, manual dexterity and ability and motivation to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by various oral diseases. Basically a dentist should possess good bedside manners along with good well learned dental techniques to treat pain. 3. What education/training is required for this career? What is your plan for achieving this education/training? The level of candidacy in the field of dentistry is very high. Dentists are health professionals who have a license to practice and provide oral preventive treatment to the community. In order to become a dentist one needs to undergraduate in a science related field, preferably biology .After that a person is supposed to take and qualify a Dental Admission Test (DAT) set up by the licensed dental universities and once cleared, you get eligible to study dentistry and thrive hard for next four years in order to achieve a degree of Doctor of dental medicine abbreviated ad DDS. After attain DDS degree one needs to get himself registered as a dental surgeon which enables him to practice dentistry .A person is supposed to do an internship after completion of dental school which helps him to practice his dental techniques more, and give him an opportunity to improve his communication, problem solving, leadership, detail oriented and patience and dental skills. I take my studies seriously and always pass with good grades. I plan to undergraduate in biology and join a well reputed academy that prepares students to achieve good marks in the upcoming Dental Admission Tests (DAT). I am surely going to work hard and prepare myself very well for the test so I can clear my test with flying colors after which I plan to thrive with full spirit and struggle continuously for four years to attain my DDS degree. Motivation, will power and hard work are the three main factors that I am following to achieve my goal. 4.
