"Midwestern really prioritizes staying up-to-date on the latest instrumentation and technology both pre-clinically and clinically."
"There are also no specialty residencies at Midwestern. This means if a student has a particularly difficult endodontic case, for example, they follow that patient to the endo department and complete the procedure there."
"There is very little communication about what to expect for things such as clinical requirements or even board exams."
What are the best things about attending Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine Glendale Campus?
Most of the basic science courses are taken during the first year with pharmacology being the only one taken second year. These are all taken together with optometry students. They have been condensed from the medical school classes, cutting out extraneous information and teaching only what is relevant to the dental or optometry fields. These classes are all recorded and posted online. The vast majority of students stop attending the basic science classes within the first few weeks and still do just fine with only studying the recordings; however attendance to dental-specific classes is mandatory.
