About this Event
The shadowing experience allows prospective students the opportunity to sit chair-side while a third or fourth-year dental student treats patients. Students may shadow in the general clinic or specialty clinics within the school when available.
To compensate for current demand, students may only shadow up to five times per semester.
Covid19 Policy:
All shadowers must provide proof of vaccination. Please bring your Covid Vaccination card with you, or you will not be able to shadow. Shadowers must follow CDC guidelines for healthcare facilities and will be required to wear an N95 mask. Masks and PPEs will be provided. Students must wear their own cloth or surgical mask into the facility.
Students must arrive for shadowing by 1 pm for the afternoon session. You will not be able to shadow if it is past 1 pm when you arrive.
The dress code is business casual. No open-toed shoes or jeans are permitted. Socks are required. Long hair must be pulled back. Scrubs are also acceptable. Please do not wear strong smelling perfumes, colognes, lotions, etc. as these can cause headaches or allergic reactions for our patients.
Please cancel your shadowing appointment if you are exhibiting any symptoms of illness such as sneezing, coughing, etc, or have been in contact with someone diagnosed with Covid19 within the past 14 days.
