University Of Calicut

Our part of the University Of Calicut is located at the Dental College, which is under the Medical College Po. It’s a place that smells like disinfectant and plaster. We see a lot of students and patients every single day. The dental chairs are almost always occupied. It’s a busy atmosphere with the sound of drills and people talking in the hallways. The staff here has a lot of work to do. We manage the patient records and the student rotations. It’s not a glamorous job. Most of the time, we are just sitting at our desks or moving between the clinics. The building is quite large, and it can be easy to get lost if you are new. We have a routine that we follow. The morning starts with people waiting at the reception. We try to get through the list, but it takes time. The students are always around, looking for their professors or heading to a lecture. It’s a place of learning, but also a place where people come for their tooth problems. We just keep the files in order and make sure the schedules are followed. It’s a very practical setting. We don't have any big mission statements on the walls. We just have the clinic hours and the department names. That’s how we operate here at the dental wing. It is just another day of work at the college for us.
