Gaining Relevant Experience<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\nSimply putting down on your resume that you were a part of a pre-dental society isn\u2019t much help but there are plenty of ways to get involved in events and programs put on by the organization. Pre-dental clubs offer a wide range of opportunities to be proactive in bettering yourself<\/strong> through things like for instance mentoring programs or gaining experience volunteering in the dental health world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Leadership Opportunities<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\nWithin the ranks of the organization you can lead peers and drive the club to success.<\/p>\n
Taking on a leadership role can be challenging but you gain the very valuable skills for a future in dentistry in communication<\/em><\/strong>, negotiating<\/em><\/strong>, and problem solving<\/em><\/strong> just name a few. Besides leadership positions always look great on a resume.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Access to Resources<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\nThese organizations have resources you may not even be aware exist<\/strong> and in order to take advantage of them you have to be in the know! One of the perks of a pre-dental organization is that school representatives from the different dental programs will schedule more visits should they anticipate an audience of pre-dental students. That means many clubs will host these representatives to come and talk to the group and answer any specific questions or even host a whole panel of representatives to speak!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Figure Out Exactly What You\u2019re Doing<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\nOrthodontists, pedodontists, and periodontists OH MY!<\/em><\/strong>
\nSo what exactly is the difference and what exactly do you really want to do? Student orgs may bring in a wide range of people in the dental profession to talk on what they do and offer advice and help you discover exactly what you\u2019d like to do someday!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Misery Loves Company<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nYou\u2019ll meet other pre-dental hopefuls to share the woes<\/strong> of preparing for dental school. With everything from the AADSAS, the DAT, letters of recommendation, etc making connections with fellow students that know exactly what you\u2019re going through can be both comforting and helpful! You can even share your wisdom about how great DAT Cracker<\/a> is \u263a<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Your school may have a pre-dental society\/club\/organization of its own but there\u2019s also the option of joining the American Student Dental Association<\/em><\/strong>! Learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
In review, pre-dental clubs both spread awareness of the dental profession as well as help members stay on the track and offer things like career panels and mentoring programs!<\/p>\n
