I got to practice on Burke and I was really comfortable!

I am just finishing up clinic today and so far it has been the most interesting. We learned and practiced extra oral and chair positioning with mirror use. I used Burke as my patient and was able to practice my positioning with the use of a mirror and probe. I have felt very comfortable working on Burke and on the typodont and surprisingly I have not been nervous or felt inadequate with everything that we are learning. I think I have picked up on the skills rather quickly and have grasped positioning and the use of the mirror really well. My goals in clinic are to stay relaxed and confident in my work. I really want to master all the PEs and so far I feel very comfortable with every skill assessment. I am getting more and more excited for every clinic as it gets more hands on and am getting anxious to learn more. So far I have kept up to date on clinic information and I just need to keep reviewing to make sure I remember everything. I love dental hygiene! oh and i am thinking of buying some loops this weekend at the UDHA conference. I think in the long run it will be good for my back and my neck...especially with all the stress I already put on it with golf.
