Looking to see who is headed there?
We do our own scheduling 2nd and 3rd years. There are coordinators in 4th year that do our scheduling for us. In children's clinic in years 2 and 3 our coordinator does all the scheduling.I live on Monroe.
The clinics are set up similar to that of a real dental office as far as scheduling is concerned. There is a staff there to help with that.
True. I think we have too many patients at the moment.There is also one major benefit (in my eyes): The area has a different patient pool than UB. As already mentioned, the clinic is very busy, so you'll have no shortage of patients.
They still don't want to pay if they have money... and most of them are medicaid or just can't afford much at all.The bonus is that the patients tend to be a little more affluent in the SB area and can sometimes want a wider array of procedures. This can only be good for preparation for the real world.
Don't get me wrong, any clinical experience is good. But 2nd year is mainly exams/xrays, prophies (cleanings), a couple extractions during rotation, and limited operative (fillings). When I say limited, I mean that the average # of fillings per student was around 14 done over a 9 month period.Also, the early (2nd year) clinical work is just another bonus.
