One of the best things about attending Temple Dental is how fast you learn hand skills and prepare for clinic. I’ve always been told that Temple has a great clinical program, and after going through it, I would have to agree. When you start clinic at the end of your second year, everything really seems to come naturally from the amount of practice you had in pre-clinic. When I compared myself to students at other dental schools, I felt like I was more ahead. For example, we had already started practicing preps while they were still doing wax ups of teeth. Almost all of Temple’s clinical requirements are in the double-digits, which gives students an edge for after they graduate compared to other schools with less requirements.
