Laboratory Experiences
The students were held to a high standard with regards to quality of work and professional approach
The purpose of the laboratory experiences was not to simply “try out” a procedure, but to learn it and appreciate its significance

Clinical Experiences
New to the Penn Dental Medicine is the Dental Auxiliary Unit program in which 1st year and 2nd year students assist 3rd and 4th year students in the clinic
To simulate that program, the students were given the proper preparation, and allowed to observe chair-side with working students Prior to entering the clinic floor the
students were CPR certified and informed of HIPPA practices
