Pre-dental Organizations
There are many activities that can help prepare applicants for an education and career in dentistry. Aspiring dental students are encouraged to explore pre-dental student organizations at their institutions. Check out the ASDA website to find ASDA chapters in your area and other resources for predental student organizations.
Research at UFCD
The research you do does not need to be dental-related. However, there are some opportunities for University of Florida undergraduate students to get involved with research at UFCD.
Additional Expectations and Guidance for International Dental Experiences:
Although international volunteer experiences are not required to be competitive for admission into UFCD, varied dental experiences are encouraged. Professionalism and ethical behavior is critical at all times, especially when caring for patients. If you plan to participate in an international dental experience, please read the following at the links below.
