Hi guys
i wat to tell you what i know about the observationships.

Some schools have this programs,
washington university 35 000 for 1 year
usc 7 000 per month
llu 15 000 per 3 months
ucla 5 000 pero 4 months
columbia university 8 000 per 3 months.
Buffalo university i do not know how much
san antonio (texas university) 36 000 per 1 year. They canceled this year
ucsf 5 000 per 3 months

some schools also have special progrmas for foreign dentists where they can practice, such as nyu and ucla
for instance nyu have this programs in all the areas (ortho, perio, pedo, endo, maxi, prostho, etc)
the cost is 75 000 per 1 year and you will practice on patients.

Ucla hace 2 programs: Esthetic dentistry and restorative dentistry, both are clinical (work on patient) and preclinical (laboratory work)
the cost is 30 k per year.

Next year, the nbde score will be only pass/fail, no numeric score!
So all universities will check you curriculum vitae (cv) and scores in toefl, and gpa.
So studying any observationship or preceptorship will make you cv very strong.

Some people will say that observationships and preceptorships are not useful or wasting time. I am not agree.
Usually people who say that is because they do not have money to pay one. No matter is you take observationship or preceptorship, you will learn a lot, you will learn more because they give you lecture classes every day and clinical participation in all the dental specialties (it is better than just be dental assistant)
how long you should take? Has long as you can, if you can take it 1 year, it is perfect, or if you take less it's good too.

I didn't find anything in the Washington dental school for preceptorship or anything like that. can u guide me where to look for it?!

Also, it makes sense to take a preceptorship program at the school you want to study DDS / Advanced DDS.

If you do not have any exp in the USA, I would def recommend that you go for such a course.

Hey guys
I am done with part 1...and was looking for observership and volunteer positions..I asked few dentists ,left my resume but haven't heard anything till date...I dont have any clinical experience ...Should I enroll myself in mph or other health related program to improve my chances ? Can you please suggest how you guys get to do observership at local dentist..just walk in or send them email first ...was it like really hard to get ?

 

[dentovis]

MPH is always a good option. It's an additional qualification!

 

[adks19]

hey njdental,
Take the yellow book and start calling one by one to all dentists' office and keep track of ur conversations if they ask ur resume or whatever, esp call those who are from ur country to start with.. You can even search online.
Keep doing it daily, probably in few days, u ll get a chance.
This is what i did, hope it works for you also.

 

[nj dental]

Thanks dentovis and adks19 for your prompt reply
I think calling dentists from my country is a good idea...I will definately call them first ..lets see how it goes
I am also considering MPH as plan B to improve my resume ...do you have any idea if I have to complete MPH before starting dental school ? or I can just leave once I get in ?
