So if you volunteered in a dental clinic, do you put that in AADSAS under Dentistry experience or volunteer experience? And let's say you worked in a dental office, is that dentistry experience or work experience? Or both? So confusing...

the way i did it is i put all shadowing under dentistry experience. then i put all dental related volunteer work under dentistry experience as well. if you run out of "dentistry" spots then just put the rest under whatever other category it falls under. they will look hard at the "dentistry" experience so put what you think is most important "dental" things under that category.

I volunteered as a dental assistant for about 6 months at a dental clinic, so I put it under both volunteering and dental experience.

Yeah, I like this idea the most. I don't have a ton of extracurriculars so anything to help fill out my app. Thanks for the input

Yeah, it's not like you're lying or anything - if you worked as a dental assistant you'd put it both under dental experience and work experience, just makes sense.
