Marithza Flores, a University of Colorado Boulder junior majoring in integrative physiology, was browsing dental school websites when she came across a program promoted by the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.
Aptly called Destination Dental School, or DDS, it was a new initiative by the dental school that aims to remove barriers to careers in dentistry for underrepresented students.
As a Latina interested in pursuing a career in dentistry, Ms. Flores said this piqued her interest.
It’s fantastic news. It’s highly informative and understandable.
