I am applying this June and at the time of applying, I will have been out of school for 4 years. I have taken masters-level courses and have been a dental assistant for 4 years. I just recently started the masters program (Fall 2017) so I did have a 3 year gap of just working. I also teach at a dental assisting school and volunteer. So, I have two questions:
1. What are the best schools to apply to with this situation?
2. Working for a general dentist for 4 years, am I still supposed to shadow? I have assisted all realms of dentistry - pedo, surgical, perio, endo, hygiene... but do they still expect to see that I have shadowed specialized doctors?
