I did enjoy my time at Case and enjoyed the classmates I was with but I do think I was one of few. Many of the faculty were wonderful people who I learned much from. The ones that went above and beyond to teach you more than just the basics of dentistry were wonderful. Even if you were seeking to push beyond basic requirements at Case, the administration almost discourages you from trying to learn more. The administration, oral surgery department experience, endo experience, and complete non-existence of ortho experience (even though the head of ortho is the clinical director of the dental school) was a half star at best. I feel generous giving it that.
Dental students were lucky to graduate doing 2 root canals while the endo residents are booked out 3+ months. Students would routinely allow other students to extract teeth for them and count them as their requirements and this was known by the department heads and they did not seem to care. You are not allowed to do any surgical extractions at all, unless you are the head of the oral surgery departments son who hadn’t even completed his basic requirements for non surgical extractions.
The school has since pushed to raise their fees to what Medicaid reimburses (upwards of $900 for a crown) and has shown that they prefer the production and money of students working in a Medicaid mill rather than produce clinically competent students. The only reason I rated some areas as high as I did was because of the specific faculty I fell in with. There are some real gems of instructors here that go above and beyond. Administration continually seems to try and push those ones out here. They want faculty they can completely control. They dictate insane things to push more patients to their AEGD to charge patients higher fees. They don’t allow students to do cases for patients with more than 6 veneers or crowns at a time and force them to refer to the AEGD program or to not be patients at the school at all.
I am very worried for the future clinicians produced by the inadequate preparation from this money hungry administration.
