i agree with this report. i was spenting almost a year in this internship program just to learn that my gpa is not good enough to be in this implant program. i had came here all the way from my country just to learn that my gpa is not good enough. do not bother come here. they will take your money, promise you that you get accepted after a year and then you become without money or education. i hear they take into the real program here only friends of alumni or faculty. do not bother. shame on these people. they do not even have enough patients for their residents in this implant program. a bunch of thieves.

I completely disagree with the two comments that I read before and actually I am feeling kind of sad to see how people try to discredit the best current implant dentistry programs in the world.

First of all I want everybody to know that one of the requisites to become a resident is having 3.0 GPA or higher for that you can check the website in the Admissions Requirements section. Second, no one says, no one, that if you are an intern one year you have a guaranteed spot in the residency most of the residents that I know have applied 2 or 3 times before getting into the program (residency). Third, please check the website again on the internship training and you will see that it says clearly that the clinical activity for externs and interns is “limited to clinical and surgical assistance for faculties, residents and fellows”… where did you read or hear that interns place implants?

From my point of view and experience in that program as an intern, for a year and a half, I can say that no one treats you as a slave and the fact that the faculties have their own patients treated in the clinic makes the internship an amazing learning experience from very talented and well-known surgeons. About friends, faculties and alumni being accepted in the residency… There is no one related to anyone in any aspect, so I really don’t know where that is coming from… By the way, residents and fellows have their schedules booked 2-3 weeks in advance. Maybe you are the luckiest dentists in the world and you have your schedule booked for months, but that’s not what most people have these days. What I mean is that there are enough patients for all the students.

I really don’t know if you doctors are mad or the other option is that you didn’t read what the interns are supposed to do and you were expecting something different because of your lack of information about it, but just look back and you will really see how much you learned from that experience even if we didn’t get into the residency.

To finish I just want to say that I’ve never seen the quality of work and quality of education in any other institution. Being an intern in Loma Linda has been one of the best experiences I ever had as a dentist and as a person, I would let those “thieves” take money from me any time they want if I am getting back all that I did.

this so called "the truth" report is wrote by administration. the bottom line: don't listen to a cover up from administration, especially when they writes the same report twice, trying to submit it as if it's coming from two different people.  if this report is wrote by a faculty, then he have an insentive to full you. know everybody, if you are a female, you has advantage in this program, they likes females even if they are barely qualified or not qualified, they takes a female over a male. not many females apply there, but when they do, they are in. and then they gives all the patients to these females and males don't get much. they doesn't treat everybody equally and descriminates a lot. they gives preference to relatives of faculty and alumni. whole generations went through that program. they wants your money and they treats you poorly there. even if you are intern, you are discouraged to ask questions. they just wants you to assist like a slave and shut up, not bother faculty or stuff with your stupid questions. you are only an intern and nothing else...basically a piece of shit. they calls you a doctor but they laughs behind your back because you are nothing but an ATM machine to them.
