Post graduate studies

Inside this beautiful program, there’re a lot of post-graduate studies. There are a lot of PGS (post-graduate studies), like master’s degree, doctorate (PhD) or a lot of specialties. But the most beautiful PGS is maxillofacial surgery, which is a surgical specialty which involves the diagnosis, surgery and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. They work in emergency rooms and treat people who have recently have an accident or injuries.

 It has a length of three years, and it is not a cheap and easy specialty, in fact it is really expensive, it has a cost of 9.000.000 CLP per year (yeah, it’s really expensive), also, you have to buy all the instruments you need and they are not cheap.

Another specialty caught my attention, it is implantology. In implantology the dentists put implants in your mouth. An implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed on your jaw or in your maxilla bone. It has a length of three years and is expensive too.

These two specialties are my priority; these are my favorite because in these specialties anatomy is the main subject with surgical techniques. I’d like to study these specialties here in Chili. In this university (Universidad de Chile), cause is the best university in dentistry here in chili. If I have the opportunity to study a master degree or a PhD in another country, I think I’ll travel without sin.
