Volunteer

- Remote Area Medical(RAM) provides free dental, vision, and medical services through mobile pop-up clinics in the U.S. I participated in four clinics, volunteering as a dental assistant. In each clinic, I was able to gain hands-on dental experience by assisting dentists or dental students. During this time, I was able to develop my manual dexterity while working directly with patients and became more comfortable working in the oral cavity. This experience also allowed me to connect with dental school staff and students, where I gained valuable knowledge and guidance.

This experience strengthened and refined my ability to communicate with patients, work efficiently in a clinical setting, and effectively collaborate with dentists and other volunteers to support patient care.
