RESEARCH SPEED DATING EVENT

The annual VBRS Research Speed Dating event took place virtually on September 21st, 2022. This event allotted students at PDM the opportunity to speak with other students involved with research both inside and outside of the dental school. The student research panel consisted of students with a variety of research experiences such as the summer research program, research honors, independent projects, etc. This event served as an excellent resource to students interested in pursuing research during their time at PDM.
