Just a question of personal interest: How does UoP get away with graduating dentists in 3 years when it takes every other school 4?

they make em go to school in the summer. Thats an extra nine months of classes
That doesn't seem like a good answer. UNLV goes through the summers too, and they are a 4 year school.
magic fairy dust does the trick
They go summers and take more classes than normal I believe.
I know that at most schools you can be "done" in under 4 years. The last 2 years is mostly clinical work at traditional 4 year programs, so if you work quickly you can be done faster. You can't graduate, but you are done with your requirements. I imagine the students just work their tails off.

At UNLV you also spend what seems like an excessive amount of time* in "fluff" classes, which do not exist at Pacific or are relegated to a week long "block".
*In your first year
They way we get it done is by cramming 2 years at any other dental school (pre-clinical and basic sciences) into 1 year,and then having 2 normal years of clinical education (Just like any other dental school).
CODA has never had a problem with our program, and we fly through every accreditation, our students have no trouble passing licensing exams (98% passed WREB last year IIRC)
