About the program of dentistry here...

You know about the difficult of a career like dentistry. It is a profession very related with the science and for this reason it is hard. But in this university, the design of the curriculum, the high number of hours in the university and the thoroughness of the teachers make the career reach an extreme level.

The curriculums have a big number of contents and topics in each subject. All of them have a degree of difficulty. Probably anatomy, biology and chemistry are the most difficult subjects; there are a lot of students that failed them.

The workload is most of time sickening, practically you never stop working during  all the week, you don’t have enough time to rest during weekends  and when there is an important exam or a clinic case (anatomy and biology), only a few hours of sleep are guaranteed.

About the infrastructure of the university, I think that it could be more modern and the classrooms definitely need to be bigger because sometimes the overcrowding is evident. About the green areas, is necessary to have them, but having the time to enjoy them is more important, although a few of grass in “Machu Picchu” is not a bad idea.  The clinical building seems enough for the clinical activities and for the patients in spite of some problems related with the instrumental.

I think that the technology here is sometimes obsolete. It is seen, for example in the computers and the lack of last generation material for simulation, like for example, material with artificial blood or equipment of virtual reality, that could be useful for the formation.

Finally, the teaching methods are questionable basically thanks to the shortage of time and them external work commitments.
