The Pre-Dental club is an organization created by UNCW students for UNCW students. The sole aim of the UNCW Pre-Dental club is to improve the chances of success for UNCW students aspiring to attend dental school. The UNCW Pre-Dental club provides information through speakers and health professionals, connections to area dentists for observation and job shadowing, as well as opportunities in leadership and dental related community service, which focuses on promoting the oral health of the children in our community. Through participation in the UNCW Pre-Dental club, students will improve their application skills and requirements as well as furthering their knowledge of the dental field.We regularly work together at MOM clinic and at St. Mary's dental clinic (Fillable Volunteer Application).
