D4s Maya Grimes, Hunter Jolicoeur, Richard Van Gurp and Yvonne Humphries started their rotation in Robeson County. For Mr. Jolicoeur, this is a return to one of the first clinics that opened his eyes to the dental profession while he was in middle school.

D4 Nicole Cavaliere prepares to challenge her endodontics skills assessment—an important step in their education is challenging various dental practice skills.

It was great to welcome back Dr. Robert Pinner ‘21 to guest lecture in our Practice Management class. He brought his real-life practice experience into our D3 classroom.

Clinical Affairs Assistant Monica Foss likes to check in periodically with our faculty in the Comp Care Clinic, like Dr. Dan Boden.

PED resident Dr. Lexxi Pham and Dental Assistant Sharontay Richardson just finished caring for a patient in the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic.
