Breaks in School

[Dr IWannaBe]

Is Dental school straight through (spring, summer and fall) with no breaks in between, except for a week or two here and there? If so, how is this pace sustained for 4 years without burnout?


Thanks

Different for each school but in general, it's 4 straight years with the usual 1-3 week breaks (Christmas, Spring break, etc).

UCSF has the first summer off, but the the rest is full time.

Ditto PDizzle. Arizona has 5 weeks off for summer, one week for Thanksgiving, two weeks for Christmas, and we've just began our spring break, which runs until Wednesday the 22nd.

UW gets first summer off (mid june through late september) and the rest is full time (although summer quarter ends late august and fall starts late sep) so we will get a month off.

UNLV starts right after labor day, you get 3 weeks for Christmas, 1 week spring break (just finishing that up), 1 week in April between semesters and one the first week of September when the new class orients after summer term.
