Establishing Professional Relationships for a Lifetime

This pilot program in partnership with the MDA seeks to integrate UNE dental students with Maine dentists. Students will be partnered with a Maine dentist who has mutual interests. The relationship will introduce students to the dental community, provide shadowing opportunities of various specialties, share knowledge of how a dental practice operates, insight into difficult cases, and much more. This will as give dental practices that are not involved with externships the opportunity to connect with UNE students.

“A dentist, who encourages, supports and stimulates protégés, while helping them see the big picture of providing quality oral health care to patients.” – Dr. Christopher Blake, Brookfield
