    Considering a GPR in NYC?

    If you're considering GPRs right now for the upcoming Post Match cycle I came across this recent enlightening post on Reddit about an unspecified NYC GPR. I fear these NYC residencies are making dental residents apathetic towards dentistry before they've even entered private practice. Burnout...

    BronxCare is a residency, not dental school

    Post match is approaching and I wanted to leave prospective GPR applicants with a detailed BronxCare summary. Mind you that the program director has been ousted (after only 2 years in reign) so experiences are subject to change. According to NY state you are not fit to practice dentistry in...

    Everybody says that doctors work for many hours but this article disagrees with them?

    So why do many doctors lack sleep (read details) ?

    Say a doc works a 16-hours shift. Doesnt that mean that he will have a 16 hours break after he finishes his work ? That is enough to get some good sleep and do many other things so what am i missing ?
