"4th year students participate in ACTS rotations. Students work in off-campus clinics throughout the state for three-week blocks throughout the year. Upperclassmen rave about this opportunity because it gives them autonomy while working in an operating dental office."
"The school provides the name and contact information but it’s the responsibility of the student to get the patient in the chair. In other words, there is no front desk staff."
"The school has plenty of clinical space and enough patients; however, students in the clinic complain that the school is short on faculty."
