We're
Here for YOU!
We have an organization here at
SUNY
Stony Brook school of Dental Medicine that
represents minorities such as yourself! The
Minority
Student Dental Association (MSDA) manages "The Reach" program
that is looking to increase the recruitment of underrepresented minorities
into the Dental profession.
Did you know
that
while the United States as a whole has become more diverse with minorities
making up 25 percent of the total U.S. population, only a handful (14
percent) are currently practicing dentistry, and only 11 percent entering
dental schools are underrepresented minorities!
Here is a list of students, faculty, and even alumni of
our Dental School that have been in your
shoes and can help you with any questions that you
may have! Don't hesitate to contact us via e-mail if you're
interested at all in Dentistry!
Dr. Fred S. Ferguson, D.D.S.
