Western University of Health Sciences was proud to serve as a presenting sponsor of the 10th annual @pomona5k10k on Oct. 17, bringing together more than 1,200 runners and walkers in downtown Pomona.

From Team WesternU participants representing our campus community to the Health and Wellness Resource Fair, where students and faculty preceptors offered screenings, consultations, and health resources, the event showcased our commitment to community health in action.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone event a success and to our Pomona community for continuing to run, walk, and grow alongside us. Together, we’re building connections and supporting a healthier future for all.

What does a day in oral surgery look like when you’re learning firsthand? 🦷🔥

Today, I had the opportunity to mentor a dental student and give him a front-row seat to the realities of private practice.

From placing 12 dental implants and removing wisdom teeth to observing sedation cases and sitting in on patient consultations, he got to experience the full scope of what we do.

Teaching and mentoring the next generation of dentists takes time, energy, and a commitment to passing on what we’ve learned. But there’s something incredibly rewarding about helping the next generation grow in knowledge, skill, and confidence.

It’s not just about teaching procedures. It’s about shaping clinicians, sharing experience, and helping build the future of our profession.

The best way to shape the future of dentistry is to invest in those who will lead it. 👊 @westernucdm

Behind every achievement were years of sacrifices, and failures. Bachelor, Masters, PhD and starting all over again, every step came with its own challenges.

But every failure taught me something, every setback made me stronger, and every new beginning reminded me that growth never stops.

The greatest achievement isn’t the degrees we earn, but the person we become along the way.

This year marks 20 years in the book of Dentistry. What’s next ?

I had the most wonderful time at @glidewelldental Dentistry On The Rise (DOTR) Symposium! ✨

It was such an honor to present alongside so many powerful @guidingleaders alumni and inspiring speakers, women I am incredibly proud to call my friends.

A heartfelt thank you to Glidewell team, Bobby, Marjorie, and Leila for the outstanding organization and impeccable hospitality, as always. There is truly no better feeling than being back at Glidewell and experiencing the camaraderie, warmth, and shared commitment to excellence.

I am especially grateful for the opportunity to present and lead two CBCT hands-on sessions and for the exceptional planning and logistics that made the experience so seamless. Looking forward to contributing to future Glidewell courses and educational programs.

With so much love and gratitude ❤️

🦷HSDA Giving Back to Our Community!

Our Hispanic Student Dental Association (HSDA) at WesternU College of Dental Medicine had a wonderful opportunity to participate in the Pomona 5K/10K Health Fair! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️.

Our student volunteers provided free dental screenings and oral health education to runners and their families, helping promote the importance of preventive dental care and access to oral health resources.

A special thank you to the @hispanicdentalassociation , @colgateus, and @henryschein for supporting community outreach initiatives through their partnership and helping student chapters like ours bring oral health resources to the communities we serve. 🪥

As an active HDA student chapter, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue promoting oral health education, prevention, and community service.

A special thank you to Dr. Bertha Alarcon, our faculty preceptor and HSDA advisor, for her time, guidance, and continued support throughout today's event. We truly appreciate her dedication to mentoring students and helping us make these community outreach opportunities possible!

❤️ To our amazing HSDA volunteers: Thank you for dedicating your time, energy, and passion to serving our community. Your commitment makes events like this possible!
We look forward to continuing to make a positive impact, one smile at a time! 😁

Muchas gracias! 🦷
