Preceptorship or Dental Assistant?

[Zeesad]

Hi,
I am wondering which one would be better to build my profile? Doing a preceptorship program or working as a dental assistant? If you all could give your opinions that would be great!

Preceptorship is very expensive and does not guarantee admission. It can range in thousands of dollar and the outcome might be devastating if you don't get admission despite that. Dental assistant is safer but very common! Its your choice ultimately.

Don’t go for preceptorship. V expensive. Someone spent $28,000 in a Prosthodontics preceptorship. Not a single interview.
