Illinois AGD had the pleasure of welcoming the UIC COD DMD Advanced Standing Class of 2018 at a breakfast on January 5, 2016. Drs. Cheryl Mora, Past President IL AGD, Dr. Sue Mayer, President IL AGD and Dr. Ben Youel, Chicago AGD Editor introduced the students to AGD with a presentation entitled, “What can AGD do for me?” Drs. Mora, Mayer and Youel discussed the importance of being involved in organized dentistry by answering the following questions.
Do you wonder if you will learn everything in dental school that you will need to know to practice dentistry? Do you want to know how to find an associate position or how to build or buy a practice after graduation? Do you want to be “in the know” about legislation and state board actions affecting dentistry? Do you want to know how to distinguish yourself among your peers? These are just some of the reasons why our members value AGD and what the organization does for their careers and their patients. Go to ILAGD.org and AGD.org and also to Facebook to find out more ways AGD will make you a more successful dental student and help you in your journey towards graduation and starting your dental career.
