On Saturday, March 23th, over 110 pre-dental students were in attendance at the 6th Annual Pre Dental event that took place during the Hinman Dental Meeting. Hoping to acquire an educational experience and gain a unique perspective into the field of dentistry Hinman Dental Society, Dr. Evis Babo, her team, and Dr Brook Corbett organized a constructive seminar for the students to acquire information concerning entrance into dental schools, to learn what the field of dentistry has to offer, and to observe what it takes to undergo a successful path to a dental career. Visiting dental schools included Georgia Regents University, Harvard University, Medical University of South Carolina, University of Alabama-Birmingham, University of Louisville, University of Maryland, and Meharry School of Dental Medicine. Representatives were present to speak on behalf of their schools and offer suggestions and valuable input to future applicants. Students represented schools from Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Kennesaw State University, Morehouse College, Oglethorpe University, Spelman College, and University of Georgia. The seminar provided an intellectual and stimulating outlook at the field of dentistry and offered a chance for the students to pose questions as well. It was a great experience, especially for those students who are seeking tips on strengthening their applications to dental school.
