The ASDA Pre-Dental Committee aspires to bridge the gap between pre-dental education and dental school. The committee is comprised of current dental students with knowledge and experience in different areas such as mentorship, webinars and event coordination. Through these events, they provide educational and informational content about the dental school application process. Participating in the mentorship program, attending virtual webinars, and joining hands-on activities at the dental school gives pre-dental students invaluable exposure to the dental field. The Pre-Dental Committee aims to inform and inspire students about dentistry and encourage them to join our school.

Are you interested in having a dental student mentor? Do you have questions about applying to dental school, taking the DAT, undergraduate course requirements, interviewing, writing the personal statement, and/or life as a dental student? The mentorship program here at UBSDM provides pre-dental students with a direct connection to a current dental student!
The goal of the UBSDM mentorship program is to guide future pre-dental students through their journey to dental school (hopefully to UBSDM) and act as an additional resource they can utilize for any questions they have along the way.
Each mentor is required to reach out to their mentee at least once every semester, to ensure that there is an open line of communication between the two.
We offer Zoom presentations to pre-dental clubs, student groups and undergraduate classes. Our presentations can be customized to cover various dental school topics such as:
- Why dentistry? What is dental school really like?
- The application process.
- Taking the DAT.
- Why should you consider applying to the UBSDM?
