Time management: You may have heard the dental school can feel like you’re constantly drinking from a fire hydrant.

Build a Support System: One thing that’s great about Tufts is the amazing support system you’ll have while in school. Reach out to other classmates and friends for study groups. Worried about clinical anatomy? Not sure how to navigate student affairs? Have no clue on how “drop the box” for a Class II prep? Good news; your bigs have had those exact same questions and are here to help.
Take a Breath & Treat Yo’ Self: It can be easy to feel overwhelmed in dental school. If you do, pause, take a few breaths and take a meaningful break. We promise you’ll even more productive once you feel re-energized doing a few of the activities you enjoy. Take yourself out for coffee on Friday morning or a walk through the commons after a stressful operative session!
Wellness Program: As you will soon find out through PELD, student wellness is of the utmost importance here at TUSDM! Try incorporating mediation, yoga, or even just light reflection into your day! Check out the Wellness Committee Page!
