Dental/dental hygiene trainees discuss training. (2023)
I think the curiosity is important because you learn more about them [the patients], and maybe, for example, she [another trainee] mentioned someone who’s fasting for Ramadan and everything. You would want to know how their life is, what they’re doing, even if you don’t really know much. I learned a lot this past month because everyone was fasting in Ramadan. People, also in Chicago, they were fasting for Easter, so I learned a lot. I didn’t know any of that. That’s pretty good that you know [that], because you’ll be in a similar situation. You would know what to do.
