Day Three Is Over

Wednesday, July 13, 2005

The day started with our fundamentals of restorative dentistry class taught by Dr. Geisberger and Dr. Streaker. We were briefly introduced to all of the specialties within Dentistry. Following that, we took learning style and personality tests. The purpose of the tests was to give us an idea of how to best study material. I wish we could've skipped the tests and gone to the lab sooner.

After the tests, we had a presentation on loupes. We can either get the 2.5X at no extra cost or we can pony up an extra $675 for the 3.5X expanded field specs. Initially, I was tempted to buy the 3.5X, but then they told us we could try the 2.5X, and, if during the first year, we decided to upgrade to the 3.5X, they'd do it for the $675 price. So, I'm going to go with the 2.5X for now.
We moved into the simlab after the loupes lecture to meet our row instructors. Each row of work stations gets a teacher to provide help and instruction. Today, each row instructor took their rows on a tour of the neighborhood around the school. Afterwards, we came back to the school for lunch on the school's dime.

We had a little break before our Biochem class at 2pm. After biochem, we had a 2 hour human anatomy lecture covering cell biology. We were done by 4pm.
