I started my rotation yesterday at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in NYC, and it's been going good so far. It's interesting to see how things are run outside of UNC, and lots of procedures done are considered "hero-dontics" as the attending described it. But it seems like UNC students have a good reputation here compared to some other dental students who also come on this rotation who "barely know how to diagnose caries". I was so proud to be a UNC dental student :)
On Tuesdays we see kids only and on Thursday I will be observing at the OMFS department. We'll see how that goes.
Things I am grateful for at UNC that St. Luke's doesn't have: digital radiographs, 'big' operatories, a big selection of burs and, believe it or not, EPR. Paper charts are not fun!
