TUKSoD Post-Baccalaureate Program Mentor
As a mentor in the TUKSoD Post-Baccalaureate Program during the Fall 2023 term, I maintained regular contact with my mentees, guiding them through the program and offering advice on their classes, the DAT, and the dental school application process. This experience enhanced my leadership and communication skills, taught me effective teaching strategies, and provided a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by aspiring dental students. The mentorship role aligned with Temple Dental’s principles of mentoring and supporting those junior to us, just as those senior to us have supported us, reinforcing my commitment to fostering a collaborative and supportive dental community.
