Clinic Details: Our founder and owner is an ABVP boarded specialist, one of 3 in Minnesota. She has built a strong core around foundational medicine and a diagnostic approach. We both have a strong interest in dentistry, internal medicine, and diagnostics. I have a strong interest in surgery. Each extern would rotate through seeing our appointments at our clinic, via our mobile truck, and surgeries at the clinic and/or on our mobile truck. Students will be encouraged to participate at different segments (history, physical exam, working differentials, applying technical skills, taking/analyzing dental radiographs, dental extractions, etc.) based on cases, student's experience, and timing. A dental lab can also be arranged ahead of time.
