I willnot surprise that the requirement for BDS is only 1 or 2 points lower than MBBSfor the following reasons: 1.
Social status--- Dentist, like medical doctor, can use the courtesytitle of Dr. They are also one of the two professions make up the medicalfunctional constituency. They are regarded as the leader of the dental team,not one of para-medical profession. 2.
No need to do a housemen year--- dentists treat patients on their ownfrom day one of their professional life. However, there is pros and cons. Many youngdentists do not have confident to do it. 3.
Except in very special and unlucky circumstances, dentists will not seepatients die. 4.
Dentists usually no need to work on shift. 5.
There are also some specialties in the dental profession, e.g.Maxillofacial surgeon, endodontist, orthodontist…. 6.
Income--- although most of the dentists are in the private sector, anaverage, reasonable ‘neighborhood dentist’ can easily make 70-100K a month. Incomeof specialists is even bigger. Orthodontists are in the gold mine (They are inthe diamond mine 20-30yrs ago). In fact, in these few years, some NGOs cannotemploy a freshly graduated dentist even for a pay of 35K+. 7.
The government seems planning to expand subsidize dental service toelderlies through NGOs and private dentist. 8.
In most parts of the world, medical school and dental school are amongthe most difficult university faculties to get in. 9.
Only about 50 places of BDS, whereas 400+ places for MBBS and MBchB. |
