CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAM

 Actually, at my first semester of my second year of dentistry at Universidad de Chile, I can say the curriculum of my career have many subjects that I don't like, especially those that are most related to the humanistic area, that subjects take my study time, which I could dedicate to other subjects (this is just my opinion from my point of view, and my reason is that I don't like this area).

Related to the workload and length of studies, some subjects have an elevated grade of complexity and workload, but I'm not saying that is impossible to study, just have to dedicate more study time in comparison to other subjects. Also, I think the length of this career is correct, because we will work with the health of the people and this is one of the reasons I need to know everything very well and bring to the people the best treatment for their oral health problems.

About the infrastructure, I think this is limited, because we don't have all the things that the dentistry student need in his learning and practice process. Examples are the few green areas and the little use of technology at preclinical where the head models, where we put the typodont, are too much old, and usually they don't work well.

Finally, related to the teaching methods I think the most part are correct, because we are in a context of hybrid studies where I think it's difficult for both parts, the teacher and the student, for to be able to adapt to the new conditions of the pandemic.

Time travel to the past or future

 Hello! One more blog. If I had the wonderful opportunity to travel in time, it would be to return to the past, you will wonder why and that is that I had the opportunity to meet very good people for this world and I did not know how to value it, a couple of those people it is no longer possible to see them again since there were circumstances that made them no longer on earth and now (as my mom says) they protect us from heaven,  If I just had the opportunity once again to hug them and say thank you for what you did for me, I would be more than happy. But I would not stay, because I know that past is what made me the person I am today, it helped me develop the personality I have and appreciate the time that has passed, the trip to the past would remain only as one more memory, a memory that I would like to be real. We must bear in mind that this dream that more than one person has is not yet possible and therefore we must appreciate the present as a gift with the people we love and not regret not having given enough affection. Perhaps one day in the future enough technology will be achieved to achieve time travel. Bye have a good day.

My dream job

 

Hello! Bloggers, This post is somewhat contradictory, but if we talk about something dreamed we must tell the truth. Although in previous publications I commented that I study dentistry at the University of Chile and go in my second year, my dream job, the one I have wanted since I was a child is something completely different and related to that "frustrated dream". I would like to be able to work as a singer and actress. I imagine being myself, doing what I like the most, singing and expressing through this and obviously, without lying, I imagine being famous haha. I would need to believe more in myself and my abilities, lose the fear of what they will say, highlight my personality. And on the other hand very important, practice, improve, have time to devote to this. Even so, you have to be somewhat realistic, with the possibilities and opportunities of today, my dream does not ensure that I am well paid and be able to live from it. And I am already on my way to a career that I like very much, although it is not the job I have always dreamed of, but it is still my purpose to be able to help in the oral health of people who need it, provide smiles and better self-esteem. In this aspect I would like to be rehabilitative, to restore what was lost. Independent my dream job is another that everyone thinks, I would not leave for nothing the beautiful career that is dentistry, finally it is to work giving a necessary service. Thanks for reading.

The best concert ever

 

Hello! I'll tell you about the best concert I went to, in my experience obviously. I was one of the many Justin Bieber fans since 2010, they called us "beliebers". One of the concerts that I enjoyed the most was the "purpose" tour, the concert was held on March 22, 2017 at the national stadium of my country, Chile, it was crazy for me and my best friend (fan too) since it was the first time we went to a concert 100% alone, although we also had to take care of the cost of the tickets,  It was a challenge being minors back then, yet we didn't lose hope and bought the cheapest ticket. We went first to the hotel where Justin was staying and saw only part of his staff, although we did not see him there, it was a unique and exciting experience, we made friends on the way to the concert, and when entering singing and enjoying like never before. you could feel the euphoria in the air. it was a day to remember the rest of my life. Have a beautiful week.

A Country I would like to visit

Hello!, I must be honest and The truth is that I have never traveled outside my native Chile, less I have gotten on a plane, although if I could I would. I would love to know as many countries as possible, especially those that are characterized by their varied and eccentric traditions

There is one country in particular that catches my attention since my childhood, where I saw my first anime programs like "sailor Moon" and "Dragon Ball" that country is Japan. I would like to know in person their technological advances, the robots they have designed, their varied and colorful culture, the language, the architecture of their temples and houses, but above all I would love to be able to taste their culinary arts right there, my favorite foods, such as miso ramen and the famous sushi, the way they prepare it, the right way to eat them. I hope one day to have the opportunity to travel and get to know what I dreamed of in. Have a good day.

A subject you´ve enjoyed studying this semester

 

I must admit that the subject that I liked the most was “skill development and self-care for professional practice.” This subject made my love for dentistry even more than before. I faced challenges that I never imagined especially with myself, I have improved my patience and the way I deal with frustration, helping me to improve and progress over time. "Skills" in a more abbreviated way, is in charge of showing the practical work of a Professional dentist from the first year in which the career is studied, managing to be related to the work that we will do as dentists in the future. Here I was able to know materials, such as resins, alginate and their respective preparations and also the necessary instruments for each of the procedures that are carried out with each material and then with the patients, the most important instruments in my opinion are the micromotor and the turbine.

I learned things like the restoration of a dental piece, make biological preparations in the practical ones that they did to us; I was also able to improve my ergonomics and both fine and gross motor skills. This type of subject allows us as students to have a much more direct proximity with respect to the work that we will do as dentists and also allows each of us to realize if this is really what we like and want to study.

Carrer-related website or an expert on your field

 In this career I think that a person has to be very selective with the websites because in many cases the websites has bad information or show a information poorly explained and little retailer. For this the websites that I use more are the websites that show you information based on experience, like scielo.org Scielo are acronym for Scientific Electronic Library Online. This websites has a motor of search where you can find almost all what you need know about diseases and relevant investigations about this diseases and other interesting topics related to the health ambit. I visit this website almost always when I study subjects like Anatomia, Bases Biologicas or Destrezas, most of the time I visit this website unintentionally, I only search what I need in Google and the motor show me this website and when I see that scielo has the information I know that i can keep calm because I found what I needed. This is my favourite website because here the information is very trustworthy and is a window for the new investigators that hasn´t a magazine or a institution for show it investigations.
