Looking through the ADEA's 45th Ed. of dental schools, I am not surprised to see a lot of institutions require advanced science courses in order to gain admission.
Let me go on the record by saying this is entirely fair.
All dental school students should have taken some courses, at least at the introductory level, in anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, etc. But, what this means for me is that I have to take these classes, and I have to take them soon.
So the plan? Enroll in a night class at a nearby university. I will most likely start off with biochemistry and then take physiology in the Fall. Even if I do not get into the schools that require these courses, the material will provide me with a great background when I (hopefully) start dental school in the Fall of 2009.
It is easier said than done to take biochemistry with work and other commitments: we'll see how fair I think this requirement is in a few months.
The purpose of this blog is to write about my preparation for dental school and some thoughts on the dental world in general. Undoubtedly, some random, completely unrelated things will be written here, but dentistry will always be the focus.
