General Dentistry vs. Specialization- Helping Young Dentists finding their way

The Young Dentists Worldwide Forum gives ideas and perspectives from scientists and generalists who have already taken their decisions in career. The participants should be able to be informed about the several possibilities they have in finding their best way to work in the dental field.

Through the scientific developments in our field, young dentists are nowadays confronted by different ways of constructing their professional life. The several possibilities of post- graduate education and the diversity of how young professionals can work- from university to single dental practice- make young dentists facing a variability of decisions after their graduation. The globalization gives them also the chance to develop their dental career in different countries. The aim of the Young Dentists Worldwide- Forum is to show the diversity of possibilities and to discuss with the young generation.
