we are paid to do this program? and provided housing?
Are these like post-bach classes or are they more like preparation class so you can get prepared for admissions process?

Has anyone done this?

Hi 2THDDS,

To answer your questions, yes, you are paid and provided housing during this program. Students take three core courses taught at a professional level by professors who work on the medical campus. These classes will help give you an idea of the rigor during the first year of dental school.
