Regarding the next cycle for 2022 applications - does anyone have any thoughts about if/how schools will be adjusting their requirements for shadowing and LOR from dentists? There’s plenty of virtual dental shadowing available nowadays however in-person shadowing not so much since COVID-19. Even then, I have read that some schools take limited virtual hours. But perhaps this could change in the upcoming application cycle. That being said, how are we supposed to get LOR from dentists if we aren’t able to shadow them?
I get that one could apply to work as a dentist assistant to fulfill that criteria but some people are still finishing their undergrad/ have other priorities that they can’t drop to get a new job to fulfill shadowing hours/ a dentist LOR.
