'You are doing well in your practice, why do you want to leave it for a year and lose touch? Take up a week's course by XYZ doctor' was the suggestion whenever I spoke to someone from the medical fraternity regarding learning Implant Dentistry in 2021.
At this time, I was working independently since a year and half post my internship and felt the need to upgrade myself in dentistry.
Once I'd narrowed down the path to implants, my research began. I was clear on learning a new skill and learning it the right way, giving it time; as I had no prior exposure to it due to lack of any mentorship.
For a very minuscule reason I narrowed it down to Saveetha Dental College Chennai.
At that point I didn't have any known contacts, no friends or whatsoever from Saveetha who could guide me about it.
Maybe it was just meant to be and today I'm so proud that I chose the right college.
Because this one year has enriched me with an everyday Implant exposure, the right set of mentors who have helped and encouraged me to be better and do the best for my patients.
Maybe I could have learnt things in a week, but I would still prefer doing it in a year's time.
Dentists have stayed away from clinics for a year in covid year but I'm sure nobody forgot dentistry. It's your knowledge, it's your hand skills and your confidence that will keep you going ✨
Your potential is limitless, upgrade your skills and you will unleash your true potential 💫 Life is filled with difficult decisions, and winners are those who make them 🏆❤️
