"Affinia takes care of filling your chair with patients, so you can focus on the procedures. If you show up and do your job, you can finish most, if not all, of you clinical requirements fairly quickly."
"During your fourth year, you are asked to go on “rotations”. This is where you spend 2- 4 weeks in a CHC or rural dental office, under the supervision of a dentist, practicing on patients."
"You get two weeks over the summer to move, and its just a pain to have to do halfway through your dental school experience."
What are the best things about attending the Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health (MOSDOH)?
The clinic. MOSDOH has teamed up with Affinia to create a state of the art Dental Clinic in St. Louis. It’s a three story (although the third floor is unfinished) building with everything you’ll need to work on patients. Affinia takes care of filling your chair with patients, so you can focus on the procedures. If you show up and do your job, you can finish most, if not all, of your clinical requirements fairly quickly. Many students finish shortly after the beginning of their fourth year. That leaves the rest of the year to focus on specific aspects of dentistry that intrigue you. The sim clinic in Kirksville is top notch as well. It’s brand new and has clean, functional equipment.
