My UNMC Journey: Bo Chao grows professionally and personally at COD

Bo Chao was finishing her third year of her master’s program in dentistry at Jilin University in Changchun, China, when she decided she wanted to see the world and experience a different culture while improving her dentistry skills. “I applied to the China Scholarship Council (CSC) program and felt lucky to get an interview at the UNMC College of Dentistry. I was impressed by the college’s dental program and their focus on hands-on learning,” Bo said. “I was excited that the college provided ample hands-on training in patient care, which is the main difference between my dental education at UNMC versus my dental education in China.”
