#MDUCovid19Diaries photo competition

A lot has changed for dental students recently with most dental schools having postponed clinical teaching because of the pandemic.

Many of you will have had exams or electives cancelled or graduated early. We’d like our photo competition to reflect what’s happening in your life now. We are no longer accepting elective photos. Instead, we’d like you to share photos or videos that show how you’re using your time in lockdown:

1. Home learning – what does your work set up look like? Share with us your study routine, favourite books and digital resources. What are you revising at the moment? Be creative!
2. Helping in your local community – are you assisting vulnerable people and key workers with tasks such as babysitting, pet care, picking up medicine and grocery shipping? Capture your favourite moments. 

You could win an £80 gift card.
