Getting Involved with the Pre-Dents
Pre-Dents:
Interested in learning how you can participate in these events? E-mail Club President, Elizabeth Lenchner at ealenchn@buffalo.edu.
Choosing a profession is a huge life decision, so it is imperative to make sure that your choice is honest and right for you! Being involved with a pre-dental association and with dental schools is a great way to gain exposure into the field as you will be seeing it.
ASDA Buffalo plans to incorporate pre-dental students as much as possible, so that the students have a better idea of how dental school works, as well as dentistry itself. We hope to have more pre-dental students at our leadership events, social events and community outreaches, to better show them the many facets of being in a healthcare profession. We hope to highlight the importance of a dental team, ethics and organized dentistry. We look forward to seeing many of you this upcoming year! - Sana Naeem, Pre-Dental Liaison

TESTIMONIALS
"The thing I liked most about the pre-dental club was the hands-on workshops that were offered. They opened my eyes to the skills required to be a dentist, got me more excited about a career in dentistry, and better prepared me for the pre-clinical experience at UBSDM." - Adam Gregor, 2nd year student
Joining the pre dental club is a great way to get involved early on! It's never to soon to be apart of the ASDA family we have established at the University of Buffalo SDM. - Joanna Pufnock, 4th year
