For fun, I asked Chat GPT to write me an OMFS personal statement and this is the result. To anyone reading this, DONT do this. Most people’s personal statements will probably look similar to this and be tossed aside for obvious reasons.
“As I stood in the operating room, watching the oral and maxillofacial surgeon expertly navigate the intricate anatomy of the patient's jaw, I felt a sense of awe and inspiration that I had never experienced before. It was at that moment that I knew without a doubt that oral and maxillofacial surgery was the field I was destined to pursue.As a highly motivated and passionate individual, I believe that my experiences in dental school and externship have prepared me to excel in this challenging and rewarding program.
During my dental school journey, I was drawn to the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery by the intricate procedures and the ability to positively impact patients' lives through surgical intervention. My interest in OMFS continued to grow as I completed various clinical rotations and coursework related to the field. I was fascinated by the complex nature of oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures and their ability to improve a patient's oral health, function, and quality of life.
My interest in OMFS led me to pursue an externship in the field. During this experience, I had the opportunity to observe and assist with various surgical procedures, including dentoalveolar surgery, implant placement, and orthognathic surgery. I was impressed by the precision, skill, and teamwork required for successful outcomes in OMFS procedures.
