NBDE Part 1

Looking to take the National Boards any time soon? Want a few ideas of what resources others have found to be the most helpful?

A classmate shared this link with me to a blog entitled TopTenNation which does top ten rankings on anything dental school related. Here's a link to their Top ten resources to Ace the boards.

Service

Here's another quote from Dr. Cottam's lectures,

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve."

Albert Schweitzer 

Success

Today Dr. Cottam, our Head and Neck Anatomy professor shared this quote with us in class. Something about it struck me. I think we are all looking to not only find success in life but also to find meaning. This quote seems to bring both together.

"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded"

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

1st Semester at ASDOH

I thought that it would be useful to list the coursework that we take here at ASDOH. Here is a list of the first Semester. I will try to put the other coursework on here as I go along.

Note: this may not be the same sequence of courses for future classes because the school tends to adapt and change with each subsequent year. However, at least this gives you an idea. Also there were several intermittent mini-courses that we had throughout the semester...little intro classes, etc. I may have left some of those out.
