I was very impressed, in a good way, by the Swedish study environment! Everything was quite different form what i was used in Portugal! Starting with the relations between teachers and students, which were very informal and easy-going, and i think that helps in getting students more interested and makes it more easy for them/us to learn and just ask any doubts we have.
Student-patient relation i think was also quite different, but i think that´s just because we Portuguese people are more sociable, and i notice that patients were used so a more serious environment.
The thing i thought was more different from our home school was the confidence and autonomy that students have here, in KI, i think students have more responsibility for their actions, and are asked to do more by themselves, to think and use their own knowledge. Instead in Portugal, we tend to relay on our teachers every time we have doubts.
About what i´ve learned...i noticed that in KI they are way more conservative when it comes to treatments, and they take so much in considerations all the factors affecting oral health and try to act changing them instead of just doing invasive treatment. Other thing were the new/different dental materials and more technology, because in my home school we still have lot´s off "old school" stuff.
