Mentorship in Dental Specialties Club

Thinking about specializing in dentistry? The Mentorship in Dental Specialties club at TUSDM is here to guide you on your journey. 

We connect dental students with faculty mentors and peers who share your passion for various dental specialties. Our club offers a supportive environment to explore specialty pathways, deepen your knowledge, and build meaningful relationships with experienced professionals. 

Through small group discussions, specialty-specific panels, and “Day in the Life” talks, you’ll gain firsthand insights into what each specialty entails and how to navigate your path. We also aim to provide shadowing opportunities to experience clinical practice up close. 

Whether you’re just starting to consider specialization or already committed to a field, our club is your resource for mentorship, learning, and community. Join us to explore your future, connect with faculty, and prepare for success in dental specialties!
