We have finished our time at the hospital and I am grateful
for the experience it gave me. I was able to see clients with complex conditions
I have never seen before and it enabled my clinical skills to improve rapidly.
I also had the opportunity to see lighter clients to improve my speed to
prepare me for private practice. Although the language barrier can be
challenging, having Tanya there to help translate self-care instructions is
very helpful. Each client is so appreciative of the care that we are providing
and are very receptive to oral health education which makes me really pleased
about the difference we are making in their lives. The hospital experience as a
whole was eye opening and rewarding. It is unfortunate that the people of San
Pancho do not have the resources that they so desperately need. Although the procedures are covered by their health care system and the resident dentists are keen to help their clients, most procedures are not performed because the dental clinic has minimal supplies and equipment.
Overall, I grew greatly as a clinician with all the
experience at our time at the hospital and really appreciate the grateful
clients that I was able to provide care for.
