Would you add 'dental assistant' in work experience on your CV residency application, or CE?

[Rkdlsqkr3]

Hi!

Just wondering what are your thoughts about adding CE courses that I've completed and also including working as 'dental assistant' in work history.
I'm trying to apply for pediatric residency, 2 yrs out of school, so I'm including my work exp. as associate dentist in private peds. office.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you!!

I listed relevant CE courses on my CV. Was your dental assisting something you did full time? Or was it a brief something you did to get into dental school?

I worked as an assistant since my senior year of Highschool, and all throughout my college years part time!

Hey Hoss how about if I was a student going into residency. Could I mention online CE through spear that I have viewed but not received CE credit for as I am not a dentist yet?

I applied to Endo last year. A program director recommended that I have an Endo CE section and an Other CE section.

I would. It shows that you’ve been exposed to dentistry since an early age and might indicate that you’re a hard worker.

I’d leave it off if it’s something I didn’t get credit for.
