Hi all,
I am a rising junior who is trying to find a dentist to shadow. I am home in Portland, OR until September 1st, and I have nothing to do for the next 7 weeks. I have tried calling 4 dentists, all of which "referred me to the office manager", which ended up being the equivalent of being completely disregarded.
I also emailed over 10 dentists via the email provided on their websites, but that has been of no use, either.
I have no dental shadowing experience and I was banking on getting at least 30-40 hours this summer. I'm worried now that I am too late and this summer is going to be a huge waste.
I was thinking I should just go visit dental practices in person. Has anybody tried this and had any success?
