What are rotations like?

There are 2 to 3 weeklong hospital rotations regionally where students can learn hospital-based dentistry in a GPR program, and another 1 week rotation in a special needs dental clinic.

Any other information you want to share?

Touro CDM has a lot of unrealized potential. What would help is better triage and distribution of patient cases according to procedure. Additionally, the onboarding of more faculty who are specifically trained or experienced in education would improve the didactic curricula.
