Well is it? Or do they focus on clinical skills more?

It is not a researched based school. There are opportunities, but it is not a focus of the education.

All schools are "clinic-based." This dichotomy of clinic vs. research based is a ridiculous one that doesn't exist int he real world.

Well put armorshell. I wonder how many opportunities there are for research there and if it is more clinical or bench-top?

i graduated from their masters program and i can tell you this.....their research facility is the smallest building on campus......so no.....research is not important at MWU

However, joint dental research opportunities are available with nearby universities, such as ASU. There were a few dental students presenting research posters at the MWU Research Day.

correct....but by no means is it even comparable to UCSF, UCLA or NYU

Yeah I wasn't expecting them to be offering combined PhD degrees or anything, just if there are opportunities...like what a previous poster said about ASU. Speaking of ASU...do the dental students at MWU ever go to Tempe for night-life or do most people usually hang around in Glendale?

Glendale has a few small bars.....but mostly people go to Tempe (MILL AVE) and Scottsdale
