Careers In Dentistry
Throughout pre–professional school, students seldom have the opportunity to sample possible careers with firsthand experience. Dentistry is a unique profession that combines the art of healing with cutting edge technology.
The Careers in Dentistry (CID) Workshop, held each July, provides an opportunity to visit and spend several days within LLUSD. During the workshop, students participate in seminars given by faculty from multiple departments, shadow students in the clinic and spend time in the laboratory developing hand skills.
