I am a foreign trained dentist and I want to apply for
the Advanced Program for International Dentists that is offered by
California Dental Schools. I would like to apply for the DUGGANS Gateway program to train for the practical test administered by various CA Dental Schools. I would like to know if any one enrolled in the DUGGANS program to prepare for the practical tests administered by USC, UCLA, UCSF, UOP and LLU. Please let me know if anyone found this program useful. The fee is around 8000USD for the Gateway program and I dont mind spending it if it helps in the practical test but I dont want to waste the money if the program is of no use, the DUGGAN website mentions that the Gateway program is useful for students trying to do well in the practical test administered by CA dental schools,
Some one sent me a private mail saying that I should check out the website www.studydent.com . I visited the website and found out information about the Dr.Dan and the program. I wanted to contact someone who actually went to the program. I graduated in 2000 and for the last few years I am totally out of touch with the field of dentistry. I think I should enroll in a detailed course like duggans, but I have arelative who stays in san Jose and so is very close to Fremont and will be very convenient for me. can you tell me when did u take the course (month and year) cause I would like to take it sometime in sept as that would be close to time period of the exams held by CA schools in Nov. Also did any one take the courses for 5 weeks(ten classes, twice a week) as mentioned in the website? I am not able to decide between the duggan and the courses offered by Dr.Dan, I lost touch with the lab work and so would like to review everything in detail but at the same time Duggans course is quite expensive, do u think the Dr.Dan course is enough for reviewing the lab work (just ten classes)? how tough are the preclinical exams conducted by various CA schools? your information would be very much helpful to me for planning out my career,
Thanks,
