"Due to our patient population, faculty, and extensive graduate programs at the school, you are exposed to and allowed to participate in some complex and interesting cases even as a dental student."
"Many patients wait months before they are seen for screening appointments, and many students find themselves struggling to find patients for particular procedures."
"With the current ranking system, students are ranked individually which causes extra stress in an already competitive environment. Many students find it difficult to find balance outside of school while trying to keep up with their class rank."
