What do you like least?
I’m a current D4, and I can honestly say this has been the worst experience of my life. They don’t have enough faculty, and because of that, different departments like endo, surgery, and pedo are closed for several days at a time. They recently hired some new faculty—one of them is very young, and she constantly says she’s worried about us working under her license. Because of that, they don’t allow us to do procedures unless they’re very simple, since she’s afraid for her license.
They also hired a full-time faculty member who, within her first week, treated all the students extremely poorly. When students reported her behavior, instead of addressing the issue, the school kept her, just moved her to another clinic, and blamed the students instead

What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?
It’s really small. Although it’s new, they don’t have enough chairs for the students, so D4s have to work in another clinic for a total of about 2.5 months. It’s mandatory, and if you don’t accept it, you fail.
How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?
They don’t have enough faculty, several department like endo,sirgo and pedo are closed several days on week because of shortage of faculty and chairs.
Any other information you want to share?
You will be treated very unprofessionally at the school. The current vice dean, who is not even officially announced as vice dean, behaves very poorly. Since students don’t have an official dean, we cannot report her. Instead of teaching students, she mistreats them. And if we report it, no action is taken, and we end up being blamed instead
Success!
