Dr. James C. Broome
Mentors Needed

I'd like to recruit a group of Birmingham area dentists who would be willing to serve as mentors for UAB pre-dental students.  We have a very strong (more than 40) pre-dental society and many of them have requested shadowing opportunities and the chance to chat with practicing dentists about their career choice.  It's a tough  world out there - our entering class GPA was better than 3.8 last year.  If you would be willing to provide encouragement and advice for these young people, and allow them to observe you in your practice, please contact me via email.

Hi All BDDS Members,

 

Our next bi-monthly speaker meeting will be on Tuesday, November 13th.  We have moved it back one week to the 2nd Tuesday of the month so not to conflict with the election and voting.  We will continue to use The Club atop Red Mountain to host our meetings.  Our meeting starts with social time at 5:30pm and our meeting gets started at 6:15pm.  

 

The speaker for our November 13th CE meeting will be Dr. Gerry Walker and his topic is "Meth Mouth - Truth or Fiction."  Please register on our website by clicking here or use the links below.

 

Some of you have requested the ability to bring staff to Monthly CE meetings.  The EC has approved staff attendance and you may register them by check, email or via PayPal. The cost is our normal fee of $40.

 

 Thanks.........Richard
