"During your D4 year, students are sent on three four-week (12 weeks total) external rotations. You are given a rental car and placed in a hotel."
"We also have required "above and beyond" courses. There's a lot of extra coursework that exceeds the national requirements for accreditation and the extra work just becomes more stress and busy-work."
"Attending UM will prepare you and expose you to dentistry but it can also be an incredibly frustrating experience being in a system that works towards its own reputation at the expense of its students."
