MrEgghead:
They have very similar course loads with few exceptions such as some specialised fields in Dentistry and medicine viz oral and maxillofacial surgery oral pathology, Orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, obsesstrics and gynaelocogy and physiciatry.. Those Are the major courses that separate them.
As for the professional Exams, Dental students take six prior to graduation while those in medicine take four.
From what I've seen in UI's curriculum Dentistry is more voluminous.

Medicine no be beans. As a dental surgery student, I had to steer clear of every form of destraction be it in form of friends or social media until I crossed 3rd MBBS.. My bulk of dental work which we did simultaneously with MB programme didn't help matters. My internal medicine and surgery (4th BDS/5th MB) dealt a greater blow on me and plunged me into depression even though I read for more 18hours a day (wheneva I didn't go for clinical postings..). But anyways, when I look at the destination, I know the toil is worth it #Dental surgeon

What is different BTW medicine and dentistry in term of their course load in school?

How many exams will both of them do?
Which of them is more voluminous?
Sorry for my questions
