If you're new to the channel, my name is Eli and I am a 3rd year dental student at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. I attended the University of Maryland, College Park for undergrad, and I did a post-bacc program at George Mason and Georgetown Universities, called G Squared.
On my channel I vlog my dental school journey as well as make videos for pre-dental students who want advice on getting into dental school. I didn't have the easiest journey to dental school, and a unique story, as I was interested in medical school for 2 years after graduating before switching to dental. Follow along my journey as a dental student and after I graduate, I want the channel to be a way for young Black men and women to see someone that looks like them working in the healthcare field. Also, share the channel with anyone you think may find it interesting! I appreciate all the support and really want to get my KZbin out there.

Great quality video! I recently saw jack hans video about matching into tufts and think y’all would make an epic collab (residency v dental/tufts v bu). Just an idea ofc!

Hey Eli, thanks for the video! Just wondering about what you are looking to do after graduation?

[@StudentDoctorEli]

No problem! I'm starting to get this question more and more, ya'll are making me realize how close I am to graduating lmao!! Right now I have a few things in mind, but my mind is not set on 1 thing just yet. Trust me though, as soon as I know ya'll will know. I'm really not the type of person to talk about things until they're set in stone, but also.. I want ya'll to keep watching to find out!

Thank you for this video. How do you manage finances while being a student? Do you work part-time?

[@StudentDoctorEli]

I do not work part time. Everything is with loans and budgeting

[@100subsnovideos9]

Hey Eli I love your videos! I am someone who started as a premed student who has graduated college and is now considering dental school instead. I really wish to take the DAT and start applying this year. What extracurricular activities related do dentistry would you consider me looking into?

[@StudentDoctorEli]

Hey! Thank you! Sounds just like me lol. I would definitely suggest you prioritize shadowing. That is the number 1 most important to showing your interest in the field and that you've actually done the work to see what you're getting yourself into. Other than shadowing, it may be helpful to volunteer in something you're passionate about. All of your experiences don't have to be dentistry related, but shadowing is an absolute must. I would also recommend that the shadowing is done with a general dentist, but shadowing a specialist can help too.

[@100subsnovideos9]

@@StudentDoctorEli Thank you for the response! Also do you know any jobs in the dental field I could work right now?

[@StudentDoctorEli]

@@100subsnovideos9 you could look for dental assisting jobs or lab tech, but what's 1000x more important to focus on is studying for the DAT and shadowing. In the grand scheme of things, whether or not you worked in the dental field doesn't matter much, and absolutely doesn't matter more than shadowing or the DAT. And working does not count as shadowing btw.

@@StudentDoctorEli okay thanks for the advice 🙏🏿
