What do you like most?

"Equipment and Facilities" | Report Response

"I love the exposure that we get. Early hands-on skills and clinically we start treating patients third year making it two full years of patient treatment instead of one. We've always had classes recorded for rewatching, so covid wasn't a large change for many professors. Most professors are very sweet and will take the time to sit with you and give you advice for class or clinic." | Report Response

Any other information you want to share?

"Digital dentistry has become a big focus of the schools curriculum. They've also implemented a botox and lip fillers course to be certified post graduation. They've also restructured curriculum for the new INBDE. We aren't required to find our own patients, we have faculty who's sole purpose is to filter each incoming patient and put them with a student based on what the patient's needs are and what the students requirements left are." | Report Response
