𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 — 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀?

"As a current dental student at Oregon Health & Science University, I remember how intimidating that first day in Sim Lab felt. I also remember wishing I had experienced it sooner."

That’s exactly why I’m excited to help lead 𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝟭𝟬𝟭: 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, presented by the OHSU Dental Continuing Education Department on 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟯𝟬, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

Here’s what makes this OHSU’s pre-dental course different:

• You’re learning in the actual OHSU Simulation Lab — not a mock setup
• You’ll use real instruments and contemporary materials
• The course is taught and mentored by current OHSU dental student, Diyar Dezay
• You get honest, unfiltered insight into dental school life
• You’re not just observing — you’re doing

This isn’t a lecture about dentistry. It’s an introduction to thinking, working, and problem-solving like a dental student.

You’ll learn foundational tooth anatomy and caries progression — and then you’ll prepare and restore a typodont tooth yourself. We’ll be right there with you, guiding you through every step and answering your questions about classes, clinic, workload, and what it truly takes to succeed.

If you’re serious about dentistry and want meaningful early exposure — not just something to add to your résumé — this course was designed for you.

Spots are limited. This immersive experience is just $𝟵𝟵.𝟬𝟬 and offers meaningful, real-world exposure inside the actual OHSU Simulation Lab.

Completion of this course does not confer any guarantee, promise, preferential consideration, or advantage toward admission to the OHSU School of Dentistry or any other dental program. This course is intended solely for educational purposes.
