nyu and "privileges"

[Kneecoal]

Members do not see this ad.

i was reading NYU's section in the ADEA book, and in the curriculum section they state that "students earn patient care privileges through achievement."

this is the only school i've seen so far that does this sort of thing. it seems kind of grade school-ish. i feel like those students that aren't doing as well as others would become further in the hole, so to speak, with the ensuing lack of practice. are there other schools that do this? is it attributed to their humongous class size? does anyone know if these "privileges" are as pronounced as i'm assuming them to be?

Stuff like the right to assist in an extensive perio or implant case. Things already available to students in other schools not in a "privileges" position.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. We get to do everything at NYU. You can do honors programs if you excel, but that is just additional experience. You can do anything you want at NYU as long as you are motivated to do it.

Finally someone who knows what he/she is talking about!

Let me know how many implants you get to place where ever you are at school, and I will let you know about NYU.

Then tell me how many lawsuits your school has had against it from students having no &*$&#^@ idea what they are doing.

I can tell you right now it's probably going to be 0.

Your point is?

I am a 2nd year indeed. Are you in dental school ArmyDDS? Because here at NYU we do all work pre-clinically as to be prepared for clinics. Thus, we are not just doing "removeable fixed" (which actually makes no sense), we are doing all work that we will be doing in the clinics, but in simulation.

I have placed no implants as of yet, but know of many people graduating from NYU who have placed several.

Yea i was just referring to the privledges the OP asked about which from my understanding is being able to do implants or do some ortho stuff. I mentioned removable because that's usually what 2nd year students in spring semester do but I didn't know NYU does all pre-clincial together or all accumulated.

I think it's pretty awesome that nyu students are at least able to do some implant cases because at most other schools, it's virtually impossible.

Not attacking you or anything but the guy above saying you did 4 was either random violence or just a troll. Good luck with your boards👍

NYU guarantees each student an implant case and veneer case. The privileges that the ADEA guide is referring to are the honors programs. During your 4th year, you can take part in an honors program to gain extra practice in some aspect of dentistry that interests you. The most popular is the honors in orthodontics and one of the programs unique to NYU is the honors in cosmetic dentistry. One student I know in the cosmetic program has already placed over 200 veneers. These honors programs are all extra work on top of your normal requirements and you have to apply for them and get accepted to them.

How does one get into these honors program? Based on GPA and the class ranking?

Yeah, it's pretty much GPA, class rank and extracurriculars. As always, there are also some tricks to getting in. You can volunteer with one of the programs early on (the always need assistants). The head of the honors in cosmetic program said they never turn away anyone who is interested. Some people start volunteering there as early as their first year. I've heard those people get some preferential treatment.

Maybe you should clarify the term "place" in "place an implant". Are you the one holding the handpiece while you drill the pilot holes? Are you the one turning the wrench as the implant abutment is being "placed"? Or are you just treatment planning implants for your patient, having a perio resident put them in, and just you restoring them?

Good one.
