Statement of PurposeIt all started the day I was born in an Indian family, as Indian culture perceives doctors or engineers as most successful professionals. Having a medical background, as my uncle is a nephrologist and my sister is a dentist, my magnetism towards the healthcare profession was evident. On days off from school, accompanying my sister to her dentist's office was routine. I always enjoyed seeing the wide range of skills and knowledge he imparted when treating his patients. Impressed by his critical thinking, professionalism and analytical skills, I have always wanted to follow in his footsteps. His calm and composure in dealing with extreme cases have always motivated me. My family background and desire to do something that included hand joining and a wealth of knowledge piqued my interest in dentistry. After finishing high school and accelerating through medical school entrance exams, I secured positions at major universities and practices in my state. research dental institute. Academically I excelled throughout the program and maintained an excellent GPA. I had the honor of being the leading university specialist in the subjects of pre-orthodontics and conservative dentistry. During the four years of study, I developed a strong knowledge of the various aspects of dentistry. To broaden my professional skills I have actively participated in numerous article presentations, conferences and seminars. The excellent training and busy internship program gave me great confidence in my talents, with which I started shadowing Dr.HSWazir, a prosthetist. Soon I was assisting him with complex procedures such as implants and fixed partial dentures. After earning my degree, I joined… middle of paper… an insight into day-to-day dental management, and dentist-patient interactions. I also learned the ins and outs of dental insurance, record keeping, and patient scheduling. This experience helped me improve my communication skills and develop my ability to build good working relationships with colleagues and patients. The profound experience at this dental office whetted my desire to become a dentist in the United States. Attending a dental school in the United States is the greatest reward for my motivation and perseverance to achieve success. I firmly believe that my professional goals, range and depth of my experience and knowledge are an asset, and my enthusiasm for the dental field makes me an ideal candidate for the DDS Advanced Standing program for foreign-educated graduates at your esteemed dental school.
