Hispanic Dental Association September Updates
Happy Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month!
With less than 6% of dentists in the U.S. identifying as Hispanic/Latinx, it’s a TUSDM moment to be commemorated. We also want to remind everyone that you do not have to be Hispanic/Latinx to be a part of HSDA! The Hispanic Student Dental Association’s mission aligns itself with that of the national Hispanic Dental Association, especially in promoting the oral health of the Hispanic/Latinx and other historically underrepresented communities. Recognizing the importance of culturally competent & conscientious oral and systemic care, Tufts HSDA is a space where all students can celebrate, learn, and grow.
All to say, we hope that you all join us in learning more about us at our first General Interest Meeting and check out our bulletin board on the 7th floor!
HISPANIC/LATINX HERITAGE MONTH 3RD ANNUAL PHOTOSHOOT:My favorite HSDA tradition – it was so exciting to see every class representing their class scrubs and enjoying the perfect end of summer day as we opened this month of celebration! An immense thank you to Jeff Murat (D25) for taking beautiful pictures and capturing the essence of the day! The D25 class were first years when Jesus Vivar (D22) started this tradition, so it has been really great watching each year get bigger and better. SEE THE PICTURES HERE
you can download the album or individual pictures until Oct. 17th
