Roseman University Virtual Sim Course 2021

 

This year, we are very excited to introduce an entirely new way of running the course that helps pre-dental students see what life would be like not only as a full-time student at Roseman University, but how unique Roseman is and how innovative our 6-point Mastery Learning Model helps dental students master all the courses, by taking only one class at a time!

 

This year’s event will be held virtually on two consecutive Saturdays, June 12 and 19. Over these two days, pre-dental students will have multiple hands-on activities, crash courses on tooth anatomy and radiographic interpretation, and plenty more. Supplies will be provided through our Virtual Sim Course Kit which will be mailed to each participant. With applications to dental school rising each year, the attendees will also get to hear from the Deans of Roseman and listen to a free lecture about the “secrets of the admissions committee” to better themselves in order to be the most competitive applicant they can be.

 

Registration is now open, and anyone who is interested can fill out this form. We have several pre-dental students who come every year and love it each time. In the past, we have even had pre-dental students from all over the nation travel to come be a part of this fantastic experience!

 

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. We are happy to answer any question you may have about this course, and hope to see you and your club in June!
