When the numbers don’t work out and the goal of training in a certain university degree is ‘truncated’ by not having the necessary grade at the EBAU, there are two options: dedicate yourself to another profession or, as you did Maria Velascodon’t give up and keep going until you achieve it. In fact, his case is worthy of admiration, since it’s been 17 years since he took the selectivity exam for the first time and, after so much time, he continues with the same enthusiasm for doing Medicine. Of course, although she has not achieved it yet, she has not stopped. And it is that this dentist has already appeared 5 times at the EBAU, has Dentistry graduatehas done first of Nursing and has finished one FP sanitary. “I know that sooner or later I will get it”, he stated.
The series ‘Doctor House’ It has been one of the reasons why an entire generation of students wanted to be doctors. And, of course, Velasco was one of them. “It caught my attention a lotthe complexity of the human body and the way of approaching each clinical case, where it came into playlearn a lot of Physiology, Anatomy or have knowledge in Pharmacology, among others,” he explained to Medical Writing.
When the time came to take the EBAU, Velasco was clear that he wanted to enter Medicine. But, unfortunately, he was 0.02 hundredths away from entering the faculty. As he did not want to waste an entire year, he looked for other avenues in the meantime and saw Dentistry as a career that could meet your expectations. “The decision was really a throwaway, although I must say that I also like the profession, since it is a very manual and super entertaining job. But the main problem I see is that now Anyone can open a dental practice without having the qualification”, he lamented.
Despite this negative point, he has very good memories of his years at the faculty and, currently, is practicing as a dentist. “What I like most is that, since it is a manual job, the hours in which I am working They fly by because I’m entertained”, he stressed.
Take 5 EBAU to enter Medicine
In the following years after finishing his degree, and without being able to enter Medicine after five EBAUs, he continued trying his luck by applying to different universities through the access route for applicants with a university degree. An alternative that, in Velasco’s eyes, is practically “impossible” due to the “little supply” available.
As to how does it feel After having tried to enter Medicine through selectivity on five occasions and failing, this dentist recognizes that “he doesn’t feel bad” about what he experiencedsince he is clear that, sooner or later, he will achieve his goal. Although, upon introspection, he does affirm that should have tried harder in the attempts he had.
Study Medicine and work as a dentist
In a hypothetical future in which Velasco manages to enter the Degree, his relationship with Dentistry is not entirely clear. “It’s complicated. I have to keep in mind that I run a practice and I have to support myself financially.since I have a mortgage. Therefore, yes I would continue working as a dentist, but not like now, since life, since the life of the self-employed is to be a slave. “I think I would take subjects little by little,” he said.
Another alternative that is proposed is transfer your query because, in her opinion, it is what really ties her. “I would pay the mortgage with that money and work three afternoons a week as a dentist to be able to live,” he clarified.
Of course, the moment you have finished the MIR and become a specialist, it is clear that you would stop practicing dentistry entirely. “I hate life as a freelancer and the stress you have in the private sphere takes years off your life.. Patients increasingly demand more and, above all, they want the impossible, and they want it all for life. I think there is a new trend in which it is believed that he who pays is right, even in matters of dental health. However, I love my job,” he concluded.
