Drashty Mody
As a student, because of the rigor of our dental school curriculum, we sometimes are not given the chance to explore dental research on an international level. Being a member of an organization that connects physicians, scientists, and clinicians from all corners of the world really provides a plethora of new perspectives. I’m seeing culture and science through different lenses and as a student, it’s very rewarding.
Blake Warner
The community of engaged scientists, educators, and clinicians focused on oral health is what I find to be most valuable aspect of AADOCR membership. The camaraderie when we are able to attend the Annual Meeting is infectious and it really does help me put my work into wider perspective, specifically the clinical relevance. I think it is also a space and opportunity to identify collaborators and connect with mentors. I believe mentorship and professional/career coaches are essential at every level.
