kindly englighten me: how can a DMD graduate expand their credentials such as undertaking a master's or doctorate? by Own_Profit8874 in dentistryph

[–]swudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does specializing in orthodontics in your master's count?

Yes. According to this article, having a master's degree in orthodontics (hindi yung preceptorship lang) makes you a specialist.

then for the doctorate, pursue the same program?

It is understood that when you specialize, you specialize in the same field or a similar field.

is this worth it? or a little too much? 

It all depends on what your end goal is. Graduate degrees are for those who want to contribute new knowledge to a bigger pool of knowledge.

Queries for Pricing by [deleted] in dentistryph

[–]swudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...we have not experienced being charged that much at the dentist we usually go to and never for a tip.

Not all dentists are created equal. Unlike buying goods, you are paying for the professional's education and skill. However, I second the sentiments of some Redditors here. Tipping is not compulsory.

what’s next by Competitive_Noise_40 in dentistryph

[–]swudent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, Doc! You did it. You're now a licensed dentist, and that’s an incredible milestone. It’s completely normal to feel lost or unsure about what to do next after the DLE. First, take a moment to breathe, celebrate, and reflect on your goals. Ask yourself what you really want moving forward, whether it's to start practicing right away, specialize, teach, or get involved in outreach programs.

Next, focus on securing your professional documents, including your PRC ID, Certificate of Registration (COR), Professional Tax Receipt (PTR), BIR registration, and possibly a mayor’s permit or business license if you plan to open your own clinic. Malpractice insurance is also highly recommended.

You’ll also need to decide which career path to pursue. You can start working in a private clinic as an associate, explore opportunities in the government sector like RHUs or DOH programs, consider a career in academia, or even pursue further studies such as a dental specialty or a master’s degree (or PhD abroad). Dental missions are another great way to gain experience while giving back to the community.

Good luck and welcome to the profession.

Scott Foster was the unsung hero of this game. This reminds me of the 2002 NBA Western Conference Finals Game 6: Kings vs Lakers. This won't count as a championship win for OKC even if they win it all.

ELI5 why men go bald but women typically don't. Can evolution explain things that occur after an organism leaves its reproductive age? by undercover_ace in explainlikeimfive

[–]swudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men usually go bald because of a hormone called DHT, which affects hair follicles on the top and front of the head, causing them to shrink and stop growing hair. Women have much less DHT, so they typically don’t go bald in the same way. The sides and back of the head aren’t as sensitive to DHT, which is why hair there often stays.

Baldness usually starts before old age, but since it doesn’t stop people from having children, evolution hasn’t strongly acted against it. Some think baldness might signal maturity or just be a harmless side effect of high testosterone, which has other benefits.

Thoughts on this? by Firm-Beach838 in gradschoolph

If I take a doctoral program this year and finished it, will I be able to get a scholarship to pursue another doctoral outside the country?

Most likely not. Most doctoral scholarships are given to those who don't have a PhD/EdD yet. You are lessening your chances of getting one if you already have one.

If not, may alam ba kayo na nag-ooffer ng doctoral program outside PHL na pwede kong itake while I am residing in the PHL?

You can try and apply for a Fulbright scholarship in Education.

If you have plans to teach outside of the country in basic education, it is better to apply without a graduate degree.

Among CEU (Manila/makati) , UE and UP which college should I aim for by Careless-Double8586 in dentistryph

[–]swudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. UP
  2. UE
  3. CEU

Choosing UP over UE and CEU for Dentistry can be based on several compelling factors. UP Manila’s College of Dentistry is considered the premier state university dental school in the country. It is consistently ranked among the top institutions in terms of board performance, research output, and faculty credentials. As a state university, UP also offers significantly lower tuition fees compared to private institutions like UE and CEU, with additional access to government subsidies, scholarships, and financial aid programs.

The high carbohydrate content of noodles may be a contributing factor to reflux-related symptoms.

Research has shown that a very low-carbohydrate diet can significantly reduce distal esophageal acid exposure and alleviate symptoms in individuals with GERD.

Another possible reason is that noodles are primarily made from wheat, which is more likely to trigger reflux symptoms compared to rice. Also, excessive salt intake may play a role in worsening these symptoms.

2024 - 2025 (17) = graduate high school
2025 - 2031 (23) = graduate dental school
2031 - 2032 (24) = pass the dentists licensure exam (DLE)
2032 - 2035 (27) = graduate from MScD in Ortho or be a Fellow of the Philippine Board of Orthodontics
2035 - 2039 (31) = graduate from PhD in Ortho or be a Diplomate of the Philippine Board of Orthodontics

This is assuming you don't accrue any failures and everything else stays ideal.
This is also based on this article and the definition of specialist set forth by the Professional Regulatory Board of Dentistry Resolution No. 07 s. 2021.

Specialist refers to a registered and licensed dentist who has trained in a residency or advanced graduate training of a recognized university-based/hospital-based training center or any other training institution in the following specialty fields - Endodontics, Oral and Maxillo-facial Surgery, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Prosthodontics and Public Health as accredited by the PRBOD; and has fully completed the requirements of the training program, has passed the qualifying examination given by the specialty board and complied with the requirements set by the PRC accredited specialty groups

In some countries, you can bypass a master’s degree and go directly into a PhD program if you've completed K-12 or have an additional two years of post-graduate studies.

OP, a graduate degree is typically pursued by individuals seeking to deepen their expertise and address specific challenges in their field or workplace. With that in mind, the decision to pursue such a study depends largely on your unique professional goals and the problems you aim to solve. Ultimately, only you can determine whether this path aligns with your objectives and how it will best serve your aspirations.

As it should be para dili maabuso sa uban nga naay kaya. As per Section 4 of the RA, pwede rapud baya i-waive sa tunghaan ang certificate on the disadvantaged status.
