What is this about? One of the associates in the clinic, where I shadow, sees only those in need of orthodontics, and basically works as the orthodontist in the clinic. I checked out the clinic's website to see where she graduated from. It says "She enrolled in the United States Dental Institute Orthodontic Program for 2 years. She received her certificate for Orthodontics in 2006." I'm just wondering how credible this kind of a certificate is, How much does it cost to go through such a course, and how often do people get in these programs. Is it basiacally for those who don't get accepted into an ortho residency?

Sounds like it.
