SMP- can you be more specific on suggested program?
I had DM'd you a while back.
There are plenty to choose from. My favorite would be Roseman's MBS because it is linked to a 3-year dental school and has a high success rate of getting people accepted. Otherwise, there are plenty of other ones. Whatever one you choose, make sure it is linked to a dental school!
First, check the schools on your wishlist if they offer a predental postbac or master's program. There were eight "legacy" masters in oral biology or oral health, but a Google search shows a few other schools have set up one-year programs since. You can also check postbac programs to see if some of them have experience getting students into dental school as well as medical school.
The original programs include (I think)

Wow that's really interested that the UMN started one. It will be interesting to see if it does an guaranteed interviews/acceptances or if they add the dental school into it as well.My school also just created an MBS program. Mostly for pre-med students however it's still geared towards those interested in a career in healthcare.
The cost of this program is insane. They are estimating the total cost to be $117k for this program at Upenn
Yeah just opened this year, will be interesting for sure. I’m sure they’ll eventually implement some type of guaranteed interview if you reach a certain gpa. It’s what will keep the program competitive and an option for those who want to go to the U - one of the best primary care universities. Unsure how it will affect dental, but the school should get in on it I think.Wow that's really interested that the UMN started one.
