So I only just started realizing I enjoyed dentistry so I don't have a long time frame. However, I do believe I have a lot of hours.
Dental assisting- 3 months-400 hours (Practice 1)
Shadowing- By the time I'm done: 5 months-180 hours. (Practice 2)
Volunteering- By the time I'm done: 5 months- 100 hours (food pantry)
While I'm very confident I have a large amount of hours, I'm worried my timeframe is going to look bad and I don't have enough locations. Should I look to shadow at one more practice? I'd rather spend that time studying for the dat but if it'll make me look better, I don't mind. My sGPA and cGPA are both on the lower side so I'm really hoping my clinical experience will give me an edge.
