True for NYU. The real reasons are clouded in secrecy, but it wasn>t
really much of a secret. NYU went from a 4-year to a 3-year curriculum
the year before I entered. The academic year was lengthened from 9
months to 11 months. The graduation requirements remained the same.
This still left a 3-month reduction in actual classroom and clinic time,
and a large number of students found themselves unable to graduate on
time. There was also a transition year where students entered in the
middle of the year for a 3 1/2 year curriculum. The clinic quite
predictably was overcrowded. This apparently was a brazen attempt to
take advantage of federal "capitation" grants that funded the schools
for every student enrolled. There was a shortage of patients to fulfill
requirements of the bloated enrollment. Added to this was the fact that
the University had promised funding for a new building for years, but
was in no hurry to come up with the money. The AADS lowered NYU>s
accreditation status from "full" to "provisional", which was one step
removed from pulling their accredidation altogether. This was a not so
subtle shove for NYU to come up with the money--which they finally
did--but not in time to benefit me.
BTW, there was once a brochure hanging in the locker room stating that
U. of Michigan had the #1 dental school in the country. There were no
other rankings, and the ranking criteria were not given.

What year was that?
When I was in the Army from 1972-1974, my CO would not accept anyone
being assigned under him who went to NYU. That was the only school he
had that policy for.

I was at NYU from 1973-76. I think they may have lowered the
accreditation status during my first year. It was restored after I left.
Hey, you don>t think....

Having been included on the very edge of the most recent periodic review for
accreditation at my alma mater, I will say it is a very elaborate and
involved process. The accreditation committee insists on the creation of
certain committees and boards within the university and dictates what type
of professional has to sit on them. That is the part I was involved with
most directly. It is a long process that takes about a year to complete.

CA-DDS has been ranting about worldwide dental education. One of the
repliers stated that he/she had gone to the best dental school in the
US. IIRC, Temple and NYU were had their accreditation "on probation" in
the late 1970>s. PENN and Harvard are overrated - in my hands-on, boots
on the ground, direct experience.
Suspect that an 'accreditation committee' makes this determination.
Actually doubt it means much, prolly a donation thingy.
There a student that transferred from Harvard, said the focus was on
'research' and clinical training was lacking there. Hence the move.
So which is it. Seems that North Carolina had the "best" rating in the
'70>s. How about today?
I say that the US/Canada schools are all the
same,
Nah, that can>t be true.
each with various strengths and weaknesses i.e academics,
research, clinical experience, and that ratings are always going to be
very subjective.
Agree on that.
IMO, in the final analysis, the schools are all the same
That can>t be true, just by definition.
- it>s the
individual dentist who decides what he does with his basic education and
how good he will be.
This is true of any field of study, and any individual.
However, you cannot decide to have 'talent' , 'good eyesight'
nor 'good hand-eye co-ordination'.
For example, there are a plethora of wannabe guitar players.
There are few 'stars' and even fewer 'true masters'.
Same is true of any musical instrument.
Why would dentistry be any different ?
Discuss amongst yourselves.
What ?!? you are gonna drop out of the conversation ?[/quote] |
