Originally from Bulgaria, I am a dentist making my permanent home in ____ on the ____ Islands in Scotland. The National Health Service does not list dentists on the ____ Islands (population 21,000) with special Endodontics training. Therefore, I hope to be the first dentist on the ____ Islands to complete advanced training in Endodontics.
After graduating from dental school in Bulgaria in 1996, I worked for Bulgaria’s National Health Service as a general dentist until 2000. I moved to the USA in 2000 because my biochemist ex-wife was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Virginia. In 2003 we moved to New Jersey, and in 2006 I became a US citizen.
I spent much of that period of my life on a plane back and forth between the USA and Bulgaria, keeping my dental license and building up my practice while earning my green card and attending to my now-ex-wife in the former. I sold my practice in Bulgaria in 2006. I worked as a dental assistant in the USA and later as a dental technician in New York until I began NYU’s Clinical Dental Research Program in 2007. My formal duties in NYC were all research, but I helped at a free clinic in my spare time. Later that year, I was recruited to begin practicing dentistry in Wales, and I remained there as a National Health Service Dentist until 2012, when I took up my present post through the NHS in ____ on the____ Islands.
I hope to earn the MSc in Clinical Endodontics from the University of South ____ so that members of my community do not have to fly to Aberdeen or Edinburgh for care by a trained Endodontist. So far, I have 127 RCTs under my belt, and only two were unsuccessful. I have a dental microscope rotary endo kit apex locator and innovative material. I need to improve my skills and learn everything new in Endodontics to practice on the forefront of my field, serving the community on____ Islands.
Thank you for considering my application.
