I was just wondering if anyone knows how long it took NOVA from when it first opened its dental school to start up their patient pool in clinic? were the first few years a struggle? or the two years before clinic started was enough for faculty to find patients and prepare the clinic? do you think this effected you as a dentist later on? thanks.

Its got nothing to do with the current clinic. The clinic today is fairly well established in terms of the amount of time to become recognized in the community and build up a patient pool. Whatever decisions are made today (good or bad) that may effect the clinic is not the issue with my question. I guess you could consider NOVA a new school compared to many others, so its more about them having this recent unique experience, and for me to learn what type of struggles the students experienced while watching the clinic grow simply because it was a new program, and how that may have effected them during school (psychologically) and in their early career as a dentist.....
