That seems a lot. I don’t remember my exact numbers, but my first semester was around 20, second, around 25, summer around 10, last semester was less because we had to see only class III and IV and they took more appointments.
Am I reading this right, you saw 55 patients in one semester?
Pretty sure I saw 30-40 TOTAL throughout my schooling!! All of the checks, requirements, appointment sequences we were required to complete took many appointments per patient (2-3 appts per pt with only 3-4 slots per week) – Plus if they needed RAD it was a whole separate appt to add on. This was over 3 semesters of seeing pts. Also saw some through public health rotation (5-10 total).
Yep, clinic 4 days a week and we could go to pedo on off days if we wanted more practice/do sealants. That was not our required amount but that's what I saw! Required was a little lower.
