Hello everyone,
I am a recent dentistry graduate from Syria, and I am planning to apply to a Master of Science in International Health in Germany at either school of Heidelberg or Charite.
Since I know little about what I am really getting myself into, and I have no experience, I thought to share some of my thoughts and concerns with you perhaps you could help me with an opinion or advice.
-I want to be able to combine my dental education in some way with this degree and to actually use it. I do not want to lose my years of study in dentistry with my clinical skills. I think the way to this is that I can make my future research or work in dental care (?) or even to still keep my clinical skills working for me somehow. I don't know if this is possible and I am worried about it the most.
-I want this degree to make me employable by international health organizations such as (WHO, doctors without borders.. ICRC..and so on..) and I wonder if this degree can actually help raise my chances or not? And if no, what is it actually I need to add to my bachelor degree in dentistry to be able to work in such organizations (setting clinical camps in remote areas, working with populations, helping health authorities in implementing health programs and determining health needs and so on and on...)
