EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT

Maureen VanHook | Full-time faculty, 9 years Detroit Mercy Dental pride: Our strong clinical program, excellent reputation and service to the community are just a few of the reasons I am proud to be part of Detroit Mercy Dental. I believe what makes us stand above other institutions is that both clinical and didactic faculty are as supportive as they are passionate about their respective fields; our students benefit from their commitment to individual and collective successes. Helping students develop and grow into successful professionals is extremely rewarding.
