Okay, I know there are other forums on this, but none really addressed specially how this is program is run. The website is also vague.
I just want to know when would you take the COMLEX and the dental boards?

So regular medical students take the COMLEX and/or USMLE after their 2nd year.
But students in the DO/DMD program take their medical boards when?? and when do they take their dental boards?

And for anyone who is in this program, is it extreme work overload? Like do you feel your grades are being compromised because you have so much to study for?

I'm really excited about this program, and my interview is on 10/10, but I want to get my facts straight before I ask my interviewers about it. Thanks!
 
Check out this thread. It answers some/most of your qs. Hope the interview went well! forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=824829
