This is the information that was emailed to me back in March:
The SMSPP course has been designed for the student whose prerequisite anatomy course had limited access to the human body or for those that want to have a refreshed understanding of the human body before the academic rigors of dental school start. The program provides a preview of Gross Anatomy and Head & Neck Anatomy. DMD students in the program will also receive an introduction to Biochemistry/Genetics, Microbiology/Immunology and basic patient Palpation Skills. In addition, DMD students will attend a special mini-course which is an Introduction to Dental Terminology, Cariology, Materials, Radiology, Periodontics, Oral Pathology, Anatomy, and Dentition.
The five-week program will be held on campus June 18th - July 20nd, 2012. The cost of the program is $750.00 and this price includes the required textbooks and materials.
I am taking it because it will give me some exposure to cadavers, it will be a good review, it will give me a chance to try their tests and see where I'm at while exposing me to some of the teachers, and, most importantly, it will get me used to the pace of dental school before it counts.
