Hi everyone
Recently I've been thinking about changing from pre-pharmacy to pre-dental. After working as a pharmacy tech in retail and shadowing a pharmacist I really don't care for retail..at all. Along with that, chemistry was never my strongest subject.
It sucks that I'm just now realizing this after earning 3 great LORS from 3 pharmacists. I have my AA/AS and only had 4 classes (organic chem+physics) to finish up at my community college before applying to the pharmacy school I was interested in.
I managed to volunteer at my local hospital from January 2017- July acquiring 50 hours before becoming homeless for 6 months.
My questions are:
1. Where do I start in terms of volunteering for dental clinics?
2. Should I finish these pre-reqs at Valencia or should I go to a 4 yr and get my BS? (I really don't have the $ right now)
4 .Should I take physics with calc or without calc for dental school?
3. How long should I shadow a dentist for? ( I shadowed a pharmacist for 6 months and felt like that was too long...things got repetitive)
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Btw I just moved to Fl...and was eyeing UF dental school....
