Still need a license for residency don’t youRumor has it southern california Western boarda cancelled, and Loma Linda, USC, UCLA all debating and likely to cancel.
i think its crazy to Cancel. Every surface is disinfected and if patients are screened for fevers etc on the way in.
If they push it back? Till when? June? Its only going to get worse. Then how many of us are stranded without licenses?
Im glad Im going into residency.
We are going into med school almost immediately so i bet it can be avoided in this case. At least for a while if needed.Still need a license for residency don’t you
Most states grant a limited resident license that doesn’t require a regional licensing exam.Still need a license for residency don’t you
PS: I realize the model in the picture would have more credibility with you all if she were wearing Figs scrubs. I apologize for the shortcoming, but my point still stands.
Well, who knows when this outbreak is controlled in the US? Task force projects it’ll wane down in August, which is 2 months after your proposed start date. Has your program director given you any information with regards to this?
Word is out that the California Dental Schools' Seniors will NOT be able to graduate on time this year. Dugoni is especially vulnerable given their 3-year program. None of the schools ever planned for something like this!
Yea, this is more likely the truth. Things are changing every day. They will get students out of school any way possible. Holding you up is the LAST thing they want.My school barely figured out how to close clinic a couple days ago. I find it hard to believe any official stance has already been made on us graduating on time. Especially when many of us have done everything needed besides WREB.
Models/analytics. In NY it was predicted the peak would occur in 45 days, as of Tuesday. It’s an estimate but the peak won’t be next week either. This is going to last for months.Source for 6 week prediction?
Now now, but when this thing is over right?Our Dean is looking at creating clinic hours in the evening and Saturdays to help the students catch up and/ or graduate. Nothing is confirmed, but he said this in an email. I imagine other schools are suggesting the same.
lol what a joke tbhOur Dean is looking at creating clinic hours in the evening and Saturdays to help the students catch up and/ or graduate. Nothing is confirmed, but he said this in an email. I imagine other schools are suggesting the same.
I agree. Why aren't CODA or the relevant state accreditation bodies amending requirements due to this crisis? Has no one contacted them? Schools seem to have their arms tied by these bodies, so perhaps our attention needs to be directed toward them. Will ASDA be of any help with all this seeing as they're supposed to represent dental student interests on a national level? What have they said so far? Seems like everyone is doing a whole lot of nothing...lol what a joke tbh

I'd imagine there are huge union issues regarding this. I doubt the contracts of the dispensary, staff, housekeeping, faculty, etc. allow all the extra hours.

I'm concerned about the graduating seniors. I wasn't before, now I'm not sure. School has said they are going to get the rest of the requirements and competencies done on mannequins, but at this point, when will they bring them back to school to do them? States are shutting down into May, and there's a good chance these lockdowns extend beyond that. Any D4s have info?
Honestly, last night I was thinking that we really should start contacting our class presidents, school administrators, CODA, etc. There needs to be more communicated to us on this matter. All I keep getting from my school are emails on the virtues of distance learning. I think administrators may be holding out to see when they can bring us back before they send us any info, but I'd like to see what their plan B is in case the lockdowns last longer.

CODA is figuring it out. They don’t have an answer yet. I’m a resident and our director has been in direct contact with them. Our director said, “they are concerned” so we are basically doing as much at home learning as we can and documenting it. The reason you guys don’t have answers is because no one has any clue how long this will last and how to make up for lost clinic time. That’s why they are encouraging the important of at home learning right now because that oddly could make a difference.
I truly don’t think they are holding info back. If your governor shut down non-emergency care until May, their hands are tied until that date.

My school is working on adding an addendum to the state legislation to have the state accept manikin based licensure exams. Its backed by our dean but ultimately the state dental association, state board, and cita need to be on board also so we will see where it goes
The Pennsylvania Dept of Public Health yesterday apparently put out a MANDATE that no dental treatment can take place unless all providers have on the appropriate PPE (N95 masks, shields, gowns, gloves, etc) and then here's the real kicker, all treatment HAS to take place in a NEGATIVE PRESSURE room!! In a conversation with a bunch of dentists here in my home state of CT about what the various DPH's are trying to do now, a couple of my colleagues, who are alums of all 3 Pennsylvania schools and a couple are in regular contact with the deans of UPENN and Temple, apparently to the knowledge of the deans, there are NO negative pressure treatment rooms in the entire state of PA, and certainly not within the entire UPENN system of hospitals/clinics.
Thus, with the likely over reaction of feedback by epidemiologist talking with the PA DPH, the intended actions to keep emergency dental patients out of the ER's by the ADA's recommendations for treating emergency patients during this crisis, PA now has a massive access to dental care problem, and in theory until that mandate is amended or rescinded, PA dentists are either not working or having to face the significant costs of installing negative pressure treatment room systems
yea, it takes a video of you taking the exam and when the exam footage is uploaded to the examsoft, proctorU analyzes the recording.my school is looking at giving us exams that are taken at home through Examsoft exam monitor. Does anyone have experience using this? They said it monitors your movement and sounds which seems pretty intense.
Hi All - I hope you and your loved ones are all well. Can anyone at Creighton share whether your ADEX exam is still going to proceed as scheduled? My husband was planning to travel there for his ADEX exam on April 18-19 and hasn't heard any updates. His school is closed until April 17 (but it could be longer) and that leaves no time to find a patient. We are just trying to decide if we should get him rescheduled for a new location, or if it is likely the test will go on as planned. Thanks in advance!
My school recently said that they anticipate D4’s to be able to graduate in early June, which sounds too optimistic in my opinion.I say all students and residents get pushed back a semester. We're looking at December at the earliest.
Given my incredible wealth of knowledge regarding cinema and the art that is video games, this is my assessment.
WREB/NERB/ADEX are up in the air. Requirement for pre-doc are in the air. Residencies cant bring in new residents when majority haven’t graduated. School base residents cant leave if they’re covering pre-doc emergencies. Prometric centers are highly restricted. Highly contagious disease and everything that is being done is to help the hospitals manage the inflow
We need a vaccine and thats at least a year out if proper clinical trials are done.

Can’t speak for Creighton specifically, but our school was to host CDCA/ADEX on April 18-19 and in mid May and both have been cancelled. If I were a betting man (which I am), I’d say it’s no longer going to be held.
It really depends on CODA and their ability to flexible with # of hours spent in clinic/school. I’d say 75% of people in my class are finished with graduation requirements and other than politics, there is absolutely no reason for us to be delayed in the receiving of a degree. In other words, no way this drags out until December from a graduation standpoint.
Same for seniors in our school, but according to our deans they can’t be let go yet even if most of them have finished their requirements because CODA needs a certain number of hours in the program. The deans are trying to propose early June as graduation date but I don’t see that being very feasible.It really depends on CODA and their ability to flexible with # of hours spent in clinic/school.

Real question is will there be jobs for new graduates in this economy
