Guest tmertens Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I am a registered dental hygienist and I was wondering if UTSW considers this as adequate "hands on"?? Does anyone know anyone or heard of any dental people getting into this program? thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1chance Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have search and search for the answer to this question as I, too, am a Registered Dental Hygienist for 10yrs. Although the questions was posted in 2009, I would love for any to give a response to it. After 10yrs I'm looking for a career chance with more "medical" hands on care. Thanks!

treejay Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah, you'll be golden with that experience. Ahead of most students that UTSW accepts. UTSW seems to place much more emphasis on grades than patient experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfran0949 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Have you contacted the school to see if they will accept your dental hygienist experience? UTSW now requires you to have 200 hrs of documented clinical experience. You may want to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhoiFish82 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 UTSW seems to place much more emphasis on grades than patient experience. I respectfully disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckysuebraden Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I respectfully disagree I agree with Khoi. My grades were in no way stellar, 3.3, but I had a LOT of hands on experience. They want to find the right mix of students, not just one kind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
