What impressed you negatively?

"The interview was a bit strange, for starters. While the school is new and some of the aspects about the curriculum were intriguing, the administration came across as painfully idealistic and glib. The interview, which was interesting to say the least, was conducted in such a manner that it seemed to emphasize knowledge over personal character. I was especially turned off by the lack of eye contact on the part of my interviewers and the seemingly lack of interest in my responses. During the Q&A at the end of the day I asked the assistant dean how they plan to prepare their students for the reality of small-business management. This clearly disturbed him as he didn't answer the question directly. Instead he responded by saying that the business end of dentistry (staff management, billing, etc.) caused him grief and perplexed him to the point that he ran to research and other fringe endeavors. After reflecting on his response, visiting the school, and hearing their aspirations, it is my opinion that ASDOH seeks to prepare and funnel their students into community and government subsidized clinics. This is not to say it's a bad thing, rather it is simply not my cup of tea. Their board scores aren't anything to write home about and their clinic has yet to be built. I am curious to see what kind of clinicians they turn out and whether or not their program becomes the envy of the dental community or its dancing dog. " Report Response
