I don't know what we would do without the students! they are invaluable & the early learners really relate to them....
X is another seed we plant as educators to carry our profession as an educator forward. With careful mentoring and guidance, she will grow to be an amazing ‘tree’ branching out in many roles as clinician-educator-leader in our profession
The students that came really helped. Could I count on at least 2 students to come for the next session?
Thank you! thank you! thank you!!!Can I have 2-3 students?

From Applicant: I am also very interested in the
academic route, so I can’t wait to see what the future
holds.
From Interviewing D4: I actually talked to the OMFS program
director at [X] about ACT ARCO and my particular interests. She is very passionate about academics and thought it was so wonderful that you have this program here
for students.
From ACT ARCO Graduate/Resident: I gave my first hour long lecture at
[X] to second year dental students. It went really well and I just wanted to express my thanks to you both and everything that I learned from the
ACT‐ARCO program.
From D2: X and Y were really great [specialty] lab teaching assistants. Their advice really contributed to my success in the course and I just wanted to pass that along to you :)
ACT ARCO Participant: Thank you for putting so much thought and time into
shaping us and making us better versions of ourselves
