Hi all. I just got back from a family event, and thought I would share with you an interesting fact told to me by my uncle.
Up until recently, my uncle had served for seven years as the President of a regional examining board, and he currently sits on the admissions committee and one school, and several other academic committees at other schools.
He said that this past cycle he had 22 students who already had MD degrees, sit for the regional board exam. He said this trend has been increasing year by year, but he had never seen so many physicians at one time attempting to switch to dentistry.
Of course the grass may always appear greener on the other side, but this fact should tell us something about the benefits of our profession -- we are all preparing to enter a fantastic profession!
