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.”
