What do you like most?

"Clinical experience" | Report Response

"The clinical experience. Not to cowboy, but definitely a lot of procedures including more advanced skills. Also the ability by the end to set your schedule and maximize your day." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"Their draconian attendance policy that makes it very difficult to be sick or have any sort of life outside of clinic hours. And, if you do miss class with an "excused absence," they still require you to make up that time with approved volunteering. Sometimes they require you to come in over your break to attend clinic to make up time." | Report Response

"It was a new school when I was there so dealing with CODA was not particularly enjoyable." | Report Response

"New and very nice. Very good equipment." | Report Response

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

"You graduate with adequate experience to start working" | Report Response

"I’m never against post grad education but I felt very prepared. I ended up, along with others, going into residency because of the experience in the clinic. But I also know many who went out into private with great success." | Report Response

What are rotations like?

"Don't think you can do externships for OMFS. This school will never approve time off of clinic to attend externships." | Report Response

"4th year is off campus if you will and similar to what you would expect at a typical AEGD. There were some private practice rotations but not sure if that is still going on or not." | Report Response

Any other information you want to share?

"I was scared when I first started this program because it was so new. But after being at other schools and seeing everything I have, I am very happy I went here and would not change where I went given the chance to go anywhere. It is not only a great school, but a great place to live and that goes a long way in my book. Thanks for the memories." | Report Response
