does anyone have any idea what examples you can bring :confused:

This is a very minor thing, don't make a big deal of it. If you play any instrument or did art/technology at any level that would be a bonus. tbh I think the tutors have enough to worry about without looking for signs of amnual dexterity.
bring all the toolz :biggrin:

Probably preparing for a dentistry interview?


I have read elsewhere that playing musical instruments, practical fine art (eg painting, clay work) can show good dexterity.

i doubt it. he also posted a thread about ethics, and since when did dentists care about ethics?? :wink:

i only said the notts medicine application thing because manual dexterity was one of the questions..

Actually in dental interviews you do have to talk about ethics.

Really? it was only little bits in my interviews but there definatly were questions, not sure what they were now, long time ago! there is ethics involved in dentistry so it does make sense to ask things about it!

Was it tuesday or thursday last week? I'm really enjoying myself, the course is great and bristol is a lovely place! Trying to revise for my anatomy spot (next thurs) at the mo, sooooooooo difficult! Its kinda irritating that we have to learn about the thorax and the abdomen, it is pointless but its in not really in any detail so its ok!

i can't remember, my memory is terrible :redface:

i remember doing my xmas anatomy spot last year, it's not exactly the nicest thing to end the first term with - but don't worry, if it's a similar structure to ours then you only have to choose multiple choice answers!

there's nothing quite like the smell of formaldehyde in the morning..

Edit: BTW, where in wales are you from?

yep, i know what you mean. having 4 of them sing "and they called it puppy love..." while dissecting a dog wasn't exactly encouraging..

*evil vets* :rolleyes:

BTW, you may not have seen it (probably haven't)..but there is a massive "goldfish bowl" style container next to the human DR where they keep some of the bodies. they float around peacefully and scare the hell out of people that didn't know they were there..
