zap_man99 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Pretty sure other schools are the same but we at u of a get 1.5 months mid July to end of aug. Work/travel/relax Also you can work in a clinic but you cant touch patients... (unless they insure you which won't happen-even then I don't think you can...) my cousin just cleaned instruments at his aunts place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunoftruth Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 At uoft we get about the same amount of time off after first year as we did in undergrad (mid May to end of August), summers will get shorter and shorter every year. Some ppl are planning to study for the boards, some planning to get a job (research, retail, dental assistant), others planning to go traveling for a bit.

pbure66 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Consider yourselves all lucky. At NYU and most other us schools you have one month break after D1 and then thats pretty much it for the rest if your working lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
