Hi there! I have been scrolling around sdn to trying to find some stuff on roseman University dental school and there isn’t much.. I don’t know a whole lot about them and I would like to. What do u guys think about the school? Can you share some pros and cons??

Best,
 
This school is new (nice facilities and instruments/equipment) and has a cush schedule, but the experience that the students are getting is awful. The endo dean doesn't like to let any of the dental students do most endo and it gets referred to the AEGD residency at Roseman University. I have never seen such bad restorative work with crowns, lab work, and approved cases by faculty. The students don't learn how to manage and treat emergency patients and they refer cases to the AEGD residents instead. The students are lazy and entitled. They don't want to do any lab work or preparation for cases and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. The students are gone by 2:30 every day and don't have a desire to learn. They think they know better than faculty and specialists. They bitch their way to deans and administration until they get their way and they cannot take constructive criticism from faculty because they need their safe space. Most surgical cases are going to the AEGD residency program because they're "too complex" for the dental students. The students don't know how to make flaps and do pharyngeal vertical release incisions...LOL. If you want to come to one of the most expensive dental schools, do the worst crown preps and restorations, not learn how to diagnose and treat emergency patients, not get exposure to endo, not learn or get exposure to dentures, refer simple full-mouth extractions and immediate dentures due to diabetes, and be an entitled snowflake dentist, then come here. I think you'd be better off going to a cheaper school with better clinical experience.
Wow. This is the first real negative post I've read about Roseman. I got a real good vibe when I went in for an interview so this is really surprising. Are you a student there?

I don't think so. He made an account yesterday and then looked up these old posts to just put in his 2 cents.
 
What difference does it make? I plead the Fifth; but yes, I'm a dentist that works at Roseman and works with students.
The difference is you are claiming in-depth knowledge due to your employment with Roseman. It's just confusing when you say you work there, plead the Fifth regarding whether you're faculty or not, and then say it doesn't make a difference.
 
When faculty members are complaining about things at Roseman, you know there are issues.
What I'm trying to figure out is if it truly is faculty that's complaining or someone who just "works" there with the students, whatever that means.
 
What I'm trying to explain to your feeble snowflake mind is that I am a dentist, I work at Roseman University, I work with the students, and I see their work. I'm not complaining. I'm just sharing my honest experience here for pre-dents.
That's because everyone is biased on SDN. I made this account yesterday to have anonymity and to not have repercussions for my blatant honesty.
I guess I had a hard time wrapping my feeble snowflake mind around the fact that you tend to toss around your "honesty," to include your username, yet are misleading about your role within the school. You're not faculty, but you're a dentist that "works" at Roseman with the students. But thanks for clearing it up for me, obviously I had a REALLY hard time getting it.
:bullcrap:

He’s not faculty. He’s prolly a resident. Pretty sure swoops and doctor honest are same people. Swoops been saying the exact stuff doctor_honest says the entire cycle.
 
I wasn't impressed when I had my interview at the school a few years back.

They really tried hard to sell the fact that the students don't have to stay late and have a really relaxed life there. They make it almost impossible to fail out, and the overall course load seemed very light after talking to current students.

I'm at school to learn and 4 years is already not enough time to learn dentistry... making it even lighter of an education is not gonna sell the school to me. Maybe I'm a masochist but Roseman wasn't for me.
 
This is SDN. Most people exaggerate galore on here. I highly doubt your claim. Roseman University does not have that patient pool for the students. I would know. I work here. I'm also assuming that you got a 30 DAT score, that you had a 4.5 GPA, and that you are the top dental school in the country. Also, didn't have to take CBSE for OMFS (because you are that smart and legit) and you matched into 2 OMFS residencies. ROFL...
what kind of faculty talks like this. if you have such an issue, why dont you just quit?

Savage!!! Also @Doctor_Honest still waiting on your opinion on UofU SoD, I would much appreciate it. Need to make a decision between UNLV and the UofU
 
If you are so in tune with every other dental school and went to a dental school that you claim to be the real deal, then why are you working at Roseman, bottom of the bin dental school?
 
Look, there’s obviously a very, very strong correlation between the quality of a university’s dental school and its football team. So, my dental school must be the most friggin’ awesome school in the land! Roseman doesn’t even have an intramural team, so therefore it must stink.

This should end this discussion. Let’s move on.

How can u even ask this guy for advice. Look how he is speaking.. he’s lost all credibility.
Well I am from Utah and in all honesty I keep hearing that Roseman doesn’t properly prep their students in the clinical setting. These kind of comments made by Dr Honest and Swoops are not unheard of if you attend any of the undergraduate schools in Utah. Most pre-dents here apply to Roseman because they have family here and “would like to stay in Utah”. However, I wanted to hear an opinion other than students that go there, which have recommended me not to attend here by the way, to compare and see if all the rumors I hear might just be facts.
With that being said, I did apply to Roseman, interviewed, completed the homework and received an acceptance, which I respectfully declined. My plan is to be a dentist, and if Roseman was the only school I got into, I wouldn’t have thought twice about accepting their offer.
I didnt like the fact that during their interview presentation they try to sell it as the Tesla of dental schools, that their program is so innovating and works better than the others. In the financial aid presentation, they talked about their tuition price, and pretty much all they had to say was that “you’ll make a lot of money as a Dentist and you’ll have no problem to pay it off, so don’t worry about it too much”, I’m sorry that I worry about my future finances and compound interest.
My opinions is that if you go to Roseman will you be a dentist, Yes. Do I feel like I would get my money’s worth? No. So please let’s not try to sell it as a Tesla, when it’s probably just a Hyundai.

A short-term solution that creates a long-term problem. Utah is saturated with dentists, and if you want to thrive practicing there minimizing educational debt is going to be essential. In that "business environment," you're not going to want to be servicing $500,000+ just in student loans. My brother is a sales rep for a dental implant company in Utah, and he makes more money than many, if not most, of the GP's he services. It's tough being a dentist there.

I promised to take photos of the "mandatory" sign out requirement. Just to show everyone thinking of applying to Roseman University for dental school (for the price of a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Nissan GTR), here's proof of how dedicated the students are here. I worked today. I took these photos when the dental clinic should be at its peak (2PM). The parking lot was only full of administration and faculty parking, there were only a handful of students in the fourth floor in all 4 quads, and there were 3 students covering urgent care clinic (UCC) and Oral Surgery Clinic. There usually are ~400 students present for classes and clinic. I am not a liar. These photos were taken today at 2 PM. Now do you believe me that I work here? I'll let you decide if I'm faculty... At other dental schools (especially mine), the whole parking lot, classrooms, and clinics would be full until 5. This is why I don't think Roseman is worth its cost. The students here pay a fortune to not be in clinic or class. I cannot believe that the students here think that they're getting the "best" education and experience here by taking group exams, not being here on Fridays, leaving at 2:30, and not seeing patients. Good luck in private practice. Try explaining to your employers that you are done by 2:30 every day and that Fridays are optional!

Could you clarify..so the dental students are allowed to be in the clinic after 2pm, but they choose not to and decide to go home?
 
Clinic is supposed to be from 9 AM to 11:30 AM and 1 PM to 4:30 PM. They choose to leave and do other things, instead of doing what they're here to do (study and get training to be a dentist and treat patients).
Gotchya, thanks for the reply. Due to the school being laid back, the students decide to take advantage and leave early. Although the school could be more strict on attending clinic, its not really the school's fault students don't want to utilize what is available to them
 
So, if we assume we @Doctor_Honest is a faculty, we know that he/she worked in the specific clinic at 2pm yesterday, and has a DMD instead of a DDS. The user is also probably middle or older aged as he/she mentions having a family. Looking at the Directory there are only 4 listed faculty having a DMD, so if you can deduce which was in the clinic that time- you have your answer on who Dr. Honest is.
 
@Doctor_Honest The work-life balance due to the block schedule, P/F grading, group testing, etc. was probably the most appealing part about Roseman. But you mean to say that makes the school worse because students become so relaxed and entitled, right?

What do you think they should do to improve the situation?
 
Not to add more fuel to this fire, but can someone explain to me this whole group testing thing? Pretty much every school I’ve attended calls that “cheating.” How on earth do you assure everyone acquires the requisite knowledge if they’re never individualally held accountable? I don’t know much about Roseman, but it’s sounding pretty watered down to me.

Roseman is a pass/no pass school.
Basically after a block class you are tested on the material. You first take the test by yourself. You then take the test with a few colleagues. To pass the test you have to score a 90% or higher by yourself. If you score a 95% or higher with your colleagues you receive an additional 5% for your own test performance.

@Doctor_Honest rumor had it that Roseman IT is going to track the IP address of your computer to figure out who you are. Better start looking for a new job since you’re “faculty”... I pray your not a student, if so they’ll most likely kick you out... Either way l, I’m still waiting on those pictures. The clinic and oral surgery looked pretty busy today!
 
I'm a D3 at Roseman. Doctor Honest sounds like a douche.
To clarify
The mandatory sign in/out: Most people in my quad don't sign in because they forget (or they don't want to?). I just started signing in but I forget a day or 2 every week. I've never signed out before though. I don't really worry about it because... well, I just don't care about that kind of stuff.
And when you don't see a crowded clinic, maybe its because patients no showed and the students are doing consults or writing notes or pouring up models. There's also boards coming up for D3s and people are studying somewhere else usually.
But some students are lazy and try to get out of doing work (is there any school that doesn't have a few lazy students?).

But I like the fact that some students are lazy. I steal their patients and procedures all the time. And if faculty knows you're smart and work hard, they're okay with it. At least that's been my experience. Win-win-win. (me, lazy student, patient)

This past Friday was an interview day with the clinics closed. Try again this Friday. It helps to put everything in proper context.
 
I’m sure the school intervened by now. I was looking forward to more posts by Doc Honest 🙁
