Destination Dentistry

The West Virginia University School of Dentistry invites pre-dental college students to visit campus for Destination Dentistry, a full-day open house at the WVU Health Sciences Center that provides prospective students with the opportunity to experience a day as a student in the Doctor of Dental Surgery program.

Registration is required. Attendance is free and limited to 40 participants to ensure personalized attention and to closely mimic the size of a typical DDS cohort at WVU.

Throughout the day, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the academic program, patient care experiences, career opportunities, admissions requirements and the application process. They will also participate in hands-on activities in the school’s dedicated dental student simulation lab and visit the state-of-the-art, interprofessional Simulation Training and Education for Patient Safety (STEPS) Center. Attendees will engage with current students and expert faculty in each session.
