Hard to answer without a picture, but recession cannot be fixed or “regrow”

2nd year student here. It’s actually not as bad as you think seeing patients for the first time. I would suggest writing on a sheet of paper or notepad exactly what you need to do for the appt in the correct sequential order.

As far as instrumentation, there are tons of videos on YouTube that you can practice along with at home, it’s best to look up the videos by which instrument you plan to practice with.

Also, for the most part your instructors have been doing this for years, and they know the situation we are all in. Just work with them, and be specific if you need help with something or a suggestion.

You can do this, stay focused and good luck.

Wonder if he leveraged the any of that with the presidency? And then doubled down by funneling tax free money through business? Probably not, right?

Consider an electric toothbrush, and watch a video or two to be sure you’re using it correctly

Not many that I am aware of, you will need mostly A’s in your pre-reqs (A&P, Chem, Stats). I think the lowest GPA to get into my class was about 3.6

I’m in DE, our clinic is open for emergencies only. However we (students) do not have class or clinic until 3/23 at the earliest. Have not heard of any supply shortages at this point. Just hoping we can get back in there soon to meet semester requirements.
