More than 50 speakers will share their experiences and expertise at a daylong program sponsored by the UNC Dental Parents every three years. Predoctoral, dental assisting and dental hygiene students will learn how to pursue traditional and non-traditional careers. Topics include practice management, academic dentistry, public health, graduate program specialties and new practices. Each student can attend six sessions and a lunch and learn. Joel Berg, a pediatric dentist and vice president of Optivan in Snoqualmie, Wash. will be the keynote speaker.
Students can earn seven hours of credit for the program.
