Hello,
I'm out on summer break and looking into job shadowing. What's the average number of shadowing hours needed for dental school? How should I record these hours?
Thanks
 
The averages differ from school to school. Some don't have minimums, some do. Honestly a safe number is 100. The schools that do have minimums are usually near this number. You can record them anywhere, just have some sort of list of when/where/amount + contact info for the dentist(s) ready to go for when you apply.
