What impressed you positively?
-
Super early clinical experience
-
Faculty seemed to genuinely want to aid in student's success
-
Amazing faculty all with diverse experiences. There was an in-depth presentation at the beginning, which I greatly appreciated. This new program was put together with care and detail. They care about feedback from their students. The dean is amazing and talked to each of the students, remembering little details from their applications. The location of El Paso means there will be no shortage of patients to work on. The lack of specialty programs means you will get any and every case. Honestly the dentists that graduate from here will be amazing.
