Changes to my study programme

I have only had two years of odontology and subjects so i can´t say a lot about the subjects but I can say about that the subjects that I have now (and had the last year) that around the 50 percent of they was and are “challa” (I mean that I believe that they are completely unnecessary) for example: the last year I had infotecnology… what it is? A subjet about power point, Photoshop and nothing else, nothing new… other subject that I think was a loss of time was “society and culture”  we literally planted strawberries and saw movies like Totoro. This year the “challa” subjet that I have is OBE that is a subject about how search information and where. On the other hand the last year I had anatomy and BAYB that are basic subjest for the acquire of knowledge, and this year I have Simulation and Diagnostic that are an approximation to the clinical reality and they serve to develop our skills and maybe that should be more important that have a Photoshop class, If I could change something i chose have more subjects that are related with my career and eliminate the thing that maybe we will never use it again.

I think that my time the last year was more that in this year because the subjects of the first year had not been a major burden (exclude Anatomy and BAYB), instead this year in Diagnostic and Simulation we have to study almot 30 classes for only one test, and they are not short classes, are really BIG. In the case of diagnostic is more easy because the teachers teach well (although study 30 classes take a lot of time and days without sleep) but in Simulation the situation it’s really complicated, in first place the teachers are completely subjetives in the evaluations of our abilities in the practical tests, one day you can have a 70 and to the next day you can will reprobate your test, so I like that in the future that can be regulated with guidelines or something like that. In simulation also the teaching method are so differents, the teachers only talk in class and we need putting into practice all that without see how do it in the real life, and maybe the teachers should show us although once how do the things.  Other problem in simulation is the time, is not enough to finish all the program and that should be change.

The laboratories or “Salas de paso” that we use in simulation are in poor conditions, always some breaks or doesn’t functioning, and we don’t have enough materials. We need more fund for improve the conditions and learn better, especially because in odontology we use a lot the technology like the turbine, and if the air compressor doesn’t serve, what we can do?.

In short, I think that my career needed a lot of improvement in the two first years, and I can imagine the next years if this is just beginning…💔
