Personal Information
I am strongly motivated to pursue further dental education in the United States, driven by both long-standing personal aspirations and a professional commitment to advanced clinical excellence. To better understand the U.S. healthcare system, I utilized my time outside of clinical practice in the UK to complete over 50 hours of shadowing in the United States, observing general dentistry, pediatric specialty practice, and cases performed under general anesthesia. These experiences provided valuable insight into interdisciplinary collaboration, patient management, and differences in healthcare delivery models.
