Three members of our inaugural School of Dental Medicine class — Cecilia Johnson, Jairo Alpire Cabrera, and Kassia Korolev — were recently featured on the Dental School Guide Podcast to talk about what it’s really like to begin dental school.
In the episode, they reflect on their diverse paths into dentistry, the emotions of orientation week, and the steep but exciting learning curve of their first month. They also share their experiences in sim lab, the advanced technology and simulation units at PNWU, and the strong sense of community and support they’ve found.
Their advice for future students? Lead with your heart. Embrace the challenge. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.
