Sort of! I have a have a BSE but went straight to dental school without working as an engineer. Dental schools will accept the pre-reqs from CC. Also dentistry likes taking unique students, so it may help you. Once in dental school, it will be 4 years, the first 2 years are preparatory and the last 2 years are clinical (more or less.) Just don’t get conned into going to NYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you graduate from clinical school, you obtain the MD degree and are technically a “medical professional.” nonetheless, no longer each and every man or woman who graduates from clinical colleges becomes a coaching medical professional (or surgeon, that’s the identical factor). You can not train medication inside the U.S. With out finishing a residency teaching program in a specific discipline of healing. There are a few people who graduate from clinical institution and get the MD degree nevertheless under no circumstances notice medication. Some develop to be experts or paintings in scientific tech/pharm organization. A quantity of of my classmates from clinical school did that. With a view to end up a dentist, you have got to pass to dental tuition.
