Personal Statement

　　Program Applied: Oral Implantology

　　The motivation behind my present application is a dilemma created by a disparity. China is one of the earliest countries in the world that conducted the implantation of artificial teeth. According to recorded documents, our ancient ancestors used jade and ivory as tooth substitutes as early as bore the birth of Jesus Christ. But when it comes to modern oral implantology as a scientific discipline, a discipline that was established and accorded its privileged academic status in the middle of last century, it becomes obvious that China has fallen rather behind the advanced international level in those fields such as implantation surgery, implantation prosthodontics, and especially implanted materials. As a student and a physician of oral implantology who is proud of my country’s oral implantation heritage but concerned about its future development, one who is committed to the study of oral implantation and its clinical application, I have a most fervent desire to pursue more advanced education at a reputed western institution. I expect to learn and research on the updated theories and technical developments in the international academia of oral implantology whereby I can keep abreast with the latest experience and expertise in the field.

　　Having done exhaustive study of the information concerning various institutions that offer advanced programs in oral implantation, I have come to the conclusion that your university should be a perfect match for me. I am fascinated by the first-rate educational and research strength of your university in the field of oral implantation. I especially identify with the special emphasis your university lays on the development of clinical experience and expertise. As to the professional qualifications of the applicant, your university requires at least one-year clinical experience in stomatology. In addition, your university provides students with opportunities for rigorous accredited practice. All those convince me that your university is the ideal choice for me to undertake my Master’s program in Oral Implantology to develop me into a more accomplished oral implantologist.

　　Of course, I am well aware that the admission into your university is highly competitive. In order to ensure the high quality of the enrolled students to maintain your well-established international reputation, your university necessarily poses stringent requirement of the applicants. A sober-minded self-examination convinces me that my sound educational background and ample professional experience make me a perfect candidate for your program.

　　I received systematic education in dentistry at the Stomatological College of XX University, one of the most prominent institutions of stomatology in China reputed for its rigorous professional training. Nurtured in such an academic background, I developed a comprehensive yet firm academic foundation through the 5-year undergraduate program. Since I started the study of stomatology, I found it is the subject where my real interest lies. Oral prosthodontics not only posed more comprehensive and challenging requirements of my knowledge and techniques in oral-maxillofacial surgery, periondontics, and oral tissue pathology but also allowed me to fully exercise my rich imagination and creativity. As far as I am concerned, a successful design and practice of oral implantation technology is also a process of creating human beauty. In return, those successful experiences filled me with ecstasy and in the due process my academic performance kept improving significantly. As a result, I won scholarships consecutively. More importantly, I mapped out the field in which my professional career was to take place – oral implantology.

　　My distinguished academic performance in stomatology and my demonstrated interest in the subject qualified me for doing internship at the Department of Oral Prosthodontics, the Stomatological Hospital of XX University. With China’s highest ranking of Grade I in Class III in stomatology, the hospital is the No. One in Central China and it offered me a variety of practical opportunities. By accumulating an abundance of clinical experience, I quickly grew into a skilled stomatologist and my prominent professional performance was highly appreciated by the director of the Department. For this, I was the sole undergraduate who was recruited into his research group.

　　By combining the wealth of first-hand data that I gathered during my one-year extensive internship and the research results that I achieved as a member of the research group, I completed my thesis which is entitled The Growth of Oral Implantology in China. In this thesis, with regard to the existing conditions of China’s oral implantology both as a practice and as a discipline, I proposed some new ideas concerning the future development of this science and pointed to some possible directions of research. Winning unanimously high evaluations from professors of oral prosthodontics and the members of the academic panel of my college, my thesis was given a “Class A” rating, one of the two theses of the year to be awarded such an honor.

　　Upon graduation, I found employment with the No. 1 People’s Hospital of XX City of XX Province (the largest hospital in the region) where I became an emerging stomatologist at the Department of Stomatology. Here I have considerably enriched my clinical experience in my area of specialization. I participated in “Voluntary Diagnosis in Rural Areas,” a special program of social work designed to provide free medical care to the impoverished local farmers. During this program, I carried out heavy workload in those areas of poor conditions and within a short period of two months my weight was reduced by 10 kilograms. But my loss of weight was compensated for by the fact that I was able to be exposed to a variety of special cases different from those in urban patients, which has permitted me to have prepared a reservoir of precious data for my future clinical and academic career. To my pride, my sound work performance has been well recognized and I was awarded the honor of the Best Employee of the Hospital in the year 2000, the only one of its kind in the entire hospital in that year.

　　Oral implantology has transcended its initial phase of development and has entered the stage of clinical application. It is heading toward the future when the procedures of treatment will be much simplified and the cost much reduced. Although China is a country with the largest population in the world, the level of expenditure per capita on the prevention of tooth diseases and on oral prosthodontics is very low. The study and the subsequent implementation of the simplified and low-cost implantation approaches will be of unlimited realistic significance. This is the opportunity that the present epoch has created for me to realize my academic and career aspirations.

　　My study plan is to make full use of the abundant academic and research resources of your well-respected university and, while doing a good job in my intensive coursework, make extensive contacts and exchanges with the leading experts and various specialists from different cultural backgrounds. I will consciously expose myself to the most recent and advanced theories, methodologies and research perspectives in the international academia and endeavor to seek various opportunities to participate in academic conferences, research programs, workshops and internships. Meanwhile I would be happy to contribute to your program by sharing with my future teachers and classmates my unique clinical experiences in China.

　　This application of mine is filed with the most sincere expectations and, hopully, will be given serious consideration.
