牙医博士申请
在很多国家,医学院至少都会分成两个系,分别是临床医学系和口腔系,在中国也是一样。口腔作为一个相对独立的专业,和临床医学既有区别又有交叉领域,在德国,DAAD 的医学排名就分成两个:一个是 Ranking for Human Medicine,另一个就是 Ranking for Dentistry;因此口腔博士的海外求学申请也是自成体系。总体而言口腔的申请难度要大于多数临床医学,就一个专业本身而言,口腔的复杂性相对大一点,分口内、口外,分正畸、材料、修复等各种子专业,所以当一个学生提出要申请口腔博士的时候,不是我们笼统的认为一个专业,而是分不同的方向和领域。有的学生懂分子生物学,可有的学生压根就不懂任何基础方面的实验,但对口腔材料方面非常熟悉,这就造成他们的申请方向和过程是截然不同的。
历年来我们已经接待了来自全国各校的口腔医学生,帮助他们申请海外口腔博士,其中有很多都已经回国进了医院工作,或是自己开了口腔诊所。我们曾经帮助上海交通大学口腔医学院的学生顺利赴德攻读博士学位,并获得在临床诊所亲自动手的机会。2013 年,华西医科大学口腔系经我们帮助申请的学生还获得了留学基金委的公派,目前还有来自大连医科大学、西安交大医学院等口腔系学生正委托我们申请。
