Summer semester of the first year: The first year at TCDM starts at the beginning of July with a one-month Summer semester. I found this semester extremely helpful as it was a great transition for my classmates and I. The best thing is that we started sim lab (also known as preclinic) from day one, focusing mainly on teeth waxing. By the end of the Summer semester, we were extremely familiar with the sim lab and dental equipment. It also allowed us to meet and build relationships with our professors, with whom we spend the next year during our operative dentistry. We also started one of the hardest basic science classes, biochemistry. The school realized that this class is extremely dense and difficult, so they divided it among the Summer and first half of the fall semester, which helped tremendously.
