Any explanation? What school did you go to and how does it compare with NYU in terms of number of patients and quality of training? I posted up a family member's progress during their D4 year and it was over 300 procedures done with still half a year left before their graduation. 300 procedures in 1.5 years sounded like a lot to me for dental school when I was in predent and he isn't even done. While I can believe that it isn't the absolute highest clinical exposure, I believe it is higher than a majority of the schools that I have researched which are usually 150-250ish. So my question is how do you qualify abysmal training? Number of patients clearly isn't it.They are both pretty abysmal training.
Sorry, nothing at all, but I also just want to let you know to not be too caught up about picking to go to a school based on who has the best clinical experience. Most dental students really don't feel ready for real world practice by graduation, and even if NYU students do 300+ procedures by graduation, that's a drop in the bucket compared to a practicing dentist. As a practicing dentist, you will easily do that many in a month or two, and maybe even 1500+ procedures a year. You're not going to be doing too much in dental school in comparison to that. Back to my original point, I assume USC sees a good amount of patients as well so their clinical education will be decent regardless of whether it's higher or lower than NYU. So I would say, don't worry too much about which schools give the best clinical education, as long as it's good and you will have a lot of patients, it will be fine. Pick a cheap one and one that you have interest in. Come the end of D3 and you really feel like you need more practice, consider applying to a GPR.thank you! that seems like a lot to me too. do you know anything about usc’s training?
