How would other people implement this in dentistry? Curious on others opinions.

I learned quite a bit from this course, and intent to address motivation in everyday lessons.

I honestly feel (I'm going to be vulnerable & be honest)  I'm taking baby steps to implement educational technology to my work with the students. I will follow what my peers are doing, because they do it so well.  I come in to help the lead instructor for some hours a day, so I go by their guidance and I follow suit ,

Teamwork is a definite must in the dental field, I plan to implement it by actions speak louder than words.  I show the students by personally going and helping them clean a room and asking for assistance on wiping down the room for the next live patient, after the student taking a FMX  is exhausted and taxed being on a time limit. I go in clear his or hers materials they used, and like I said have someone from the class help wipe  down the room and set it up for the next student , and saying out loud, "room… >>>

I am so enjoying this class, anybody else?

I feel I need to let go of the rein and put the students {or post the students in actual out in the world life scenarios} prior to them bringing a real live patient in, but in my case we do already do these skills we practice on dummies prior to bringing in patients, as well as on themselves. Students practice on themselves in groups of two.  

I learned that good outcomes can make true my points of view , I want to show real life scenarios in offices to help out students. As well that i know if i have a bad outcome of what I created I need to go back to the drawing board.

I would definitely need to be a better patient listening person, I have loads of empathy & I do put myself in peoples shoes and I do go home and sleep on it , but I try to resolve the problem before it starts , so once again I would need to be patient & listen , communicate SLOWLY { not try to jump ahead } . So the student feels heard not rushed , I would like to sit on many seasoned professional sales associates , so I could see , how when one tactic is not working how… >>>

Well since I am well educated in dentistry , I would "show and tell" in actuality bring molds and models of cases that i have worked on. I would tell them that dentistry has come a long way and it continues to grow.  I would emphasize that when i started dentistry we did not wear any PPE products {like eyeshields, gloves, masks, ect.. Now a days we have grown so much that is now mandatory for us to wear all of these items and then some, and that dentistry grows every year with stronger, faster products that new innovations are… >>>

I intend to show the student the soft skills in retrieving a patient from the waiting room to dealing with a difficult patient to getting the respect of the patient to be able to take x-rays a full mouth set to bringing the doctor into the room and introducing the doctor to the patient, while noting things about the patient that will help us in the future while treating them.
