Dental Admissions Test information and practice problems...
Visit this free informational site provided by the Graduate Educational Information Service:
http://www.dattestquestions.com/


If you are a new test-taker, this is a great resource that provides a breakdown of the test. You can find valuable information on how it's taken, ways you can study for the test, and also how to register for the test. There are some sample problems if you have not encountered them before (particularly the Perceptual Ability Test section).

Excellent pre-dental student resource: Dental Diaries blog...

http://stu-dentdiaries.blogspot.com/

Necessary information needed to embark on the journey to dental school from the minute one enters undergrad to the day they graduate and get accepted to dental school. There are also opportunities to get free items such as study materials, test prep materials, keepsakes, etc.


Global Medical Brigades at SFSU...

GMB at SFSU involves undergraduate students in recruitment of health professionals and procurement of medical supplies and funds for the brigades. Our mission provides a great experience for pre-health students and an opportunity to get involved with networking, third-world issues, and volunteer work. Students will have an immersive experience while preparing for and during the trip. Hands-on experience includes setting up a temporary clinic and staffing it in multiple areas (triage, shadowing, pharmacy), as well as preventative healthcare projects.

Brigaders will participate in innovative fundraising and physician outreach efforts, and gain valuable hands-on public health and medical experience. Being an entirely student-run organization, we depend on creative, hard-working, and dedicated individuals with a sincere interest in global health and other related issues.

For more information, you can also check out the SFSU GMB website at www.gmbatsfsu.weebly.com and also the national GMB website at www.medicalbrigades.org and also, for dental-related info, at www.globalbrigades.org/project/dental/about-us/.
