What do you like least?

Poor quality of courses (recycled lectures from previous years with no editing), low number of faculty, long wait times in clinic, no oversight for administration, lack of change by administration, uneven distribution of patients so some people practice almost 20 crowns and some people practice 2 crowns by the end of their schooling, lack of promotion of diversity, etc.

What are the facilities and clinics like (old/new, well maintained, etc.)?

Only the research facilities and clinics are updated. The first two years of courses are taken in older parts of the building. There is no light in the building nor many comfortable rooms/facilities for students while studying.

How do students from this program do after graduation - are they adequately prepared for practice?

It depends. If you want to specialize, it is a good idea for the name of the school. If you want to do general, I do not recommend it. However, clinic cases are unevenly distributed. It is typical for students to practice less than 4 crowns here during their entire schooling. Many interesting clinic cases go to specialty clinics so they can practice although they are in the realm of general dentistry.

What are rotations like?

You can do external rotations to practice extractions as we are typically not permitted to in the school.

How do students from this program do in the Match?

No responses

Any other information you want to share?

I only recommend this school for students wanting to specialize or do research. The school is not geared towards general dentistry and still has a long way to go in terms of getting adequate faculty and course quality.
