Hello everyone and Good Morning
I am having two major issues regarding my plan, because I do not know how to approach it, could you guys help me out?
Clinical Experience:
I am currently a dentist (no student loans, no debts), in my second year of practice. I have 2 more years to commit as a dentist, and then I would like to start my Med-Journey. I work in public health and do **a lot** of Oral Surgery (1 surgical extraction a week at least, and ~6-7+ avg extractions a week, I also work in a hospital) will this count as clinical experience?
How do I go about asking to shadow at the local hospital? Do I just call the hospital and let them know that I would like to shadow a doc for medical school? Is there anything I need to do beforehand?
MCAT Studies:
How did you guys start this? I have taken almost all of the core Pre-Reqs, and some of the additional classes like psych, but I have forgotten a lot of the older material that we didn't go over in Dental school. What would be the best study program (cost is no issue what so ever) for the MCAT? Is there one that you can relearn all the topics on 1 site and then tackle the question banks after?
Edit: Please for the sake of my sanity, please do not ask me why I am switching from dental to medical. I have heard this question almost quite literally a hundred or hundreds of times. I already have this question sorted out, and would really appreciate help with this topic instead.
