HI!! I d prolly say the one at UCLA is much better......but congrats anyways!!!👍👍👍
 
vidic27 you are right.. ucla is much better, actually there were the onces who first started the trend of having such programs in united states... I did my preceptorship in perio from ucsf. IT is not a really great program... opting for a quater is more than enuf after that it becomes monotonous and nothing much to do in the clinics. They have some awesome faculty like the Dr. Armitage who can be called father of Perio research today, so if you have interest in literature reviews and writing papers than it is good. Not good for clinical exposure at all. The residents are reluctant towards the Preceptors and it becomes uncomfortable. I think you UCLA is much better option for people who wants to go for preceptorship......
 
Hi..! I am an international dentist looking to join the preceptorship at UCLA. I am not sure which is better the 1 year restorative dentistry or the quarterly programs for 3 months. Also, i am thinking of applying to schools this august. Will it be a better idea to do do that Vs applying wit just a month of observership experience? I am really confused. How can i better my application for the August deadlines?
 
can you please help me with the biggest dilemma. i am being suggested by many to pursue mha after bds in india to make my resume stronger to get into dds idp programs . does doing mha help getting into dds program or getting preceptorship at ucla is a better option ?
thankyou
