I did my bench prep course at the Duggan Institute and had the best experience. Dr Duggan is an excellent teacher and explains things in a way that you cant forget them.

I greatly appreciate having Meghan and Tim at the institute. They made sure everyone felt welcomed and had the best time. I will miss the talks and amazing friends I made at the institute.

I highly recommend this course. The Duggan institute is the best place ever that can prepare you perfectly not only for your bench exam but for your whole career life. I took many courses, I can confidently say that Dr Duggan is a professional and excellent teacher. He knows how to make your hand skills rock. After the 10 day course, I felt very confident and for the first time a real dentist with refined hand skills. His lectures and demos are well demonstrated. The staff was very helpful. I still go there to practice in their well equipped labs. I always feel home. Thanks Dr Duggan, Megan and Moaz . really appreciate your help.

I went to Duggan Institute after been out of dental school for 7 years, with zero experience in the dental field and scared that I couldn't get anything out of the training. After the first day I was delighted to find out that Dr. Duggan didn't expect for me to know anything, he took off the training with baby steps. Every day he started with detailed explanation of what I needed to do, followed by demonstration of how to do it. I have to say that at the end of the training, I was impress of myself. Two weeks later I took my bench test and go accepted into Loma Linda, my dream school! If you are at the level where I was and really want to improve yourself then Dr. Duggan training is worth every penny you put into it. Good luck fellows Docs!

Excellent experience while taking course at Duggan Institute. I really refined my work after taking this course. Also, Dr. Duggan and other staff members are really helpful. Their feedback was valuable for me. After taking course, I could successfully complete skill test examination during advanced dental program. Also, I learn new concepts and improve my clinical skills.

The class was exactly the college course that I was looking for. I admit that I first took the class to review my background knowledge, but within the first couple of days I considered it as one of my favorite courses ever. Dr. Duggan's lectures were always so well organized and easy to learn. I greatly enjoyed learning many details and skills which increased my self confidence as well. I could practice what I've learned over and over on the Typodonts to raise my hand skills. The environment was positive and comfortable for us and the stuff were friendly and ready to help. Thank you for the great experience that I had in Duggan's Institute.

I was really wondering if it is mandatory to attend the course even after practicing dentistry for few years in home country. I realized the benefits of the course only after attending it. I took the Supplemental FRT course last year, i gained a lot of knowledge on what is ideal, how to reach the requirements and more than any thing a great ability to evaluate my own work and correct my mistakes skillfully. Dr Duggan is an amazing teacher his lectures and demonstrations were detailed, even tough Dr Muaz monitored the work each and every step he followed was same as Dr Duggan. The program and the teams continues support even after the course has definitely improved my hand skills that can help me excel in Dentistry even in future.

I went for the 10 day FRT course in August 2015. Dr. Duggan and his staff are really helpful. I was in a batch with 6 students so we were lucky to have all the attention by Dr. Duggan. He's very patient in letting you know about your mistakes and how to correct them. I think he showed me the same things multiple times. I would suggest you all to devote your time to practice at the institute after the course. Bench test is really critical to your acceptance. Meghan is really nice and caring. She was a great support when I was feeling overwhelmed by the admission process. Dr. Duggan's teaching assistant Muazz was also very helpful.
You won't regret joining the course. And they will really try to keep you motivated towards your goal.
Experience at Duggan Institute will also help you in school after you get accepted.
