Student Intern in a dental office environment

I have been involved in dental education since 1993 when I first started teaching part-time at the USC School of Dentistry. I always wanted to share my knowledge with the students to help them become better practitioners. I find that the reward and satisfaction I receive from teaching far outweigh the effort in the actual teaching process. USC started a dental office externship program that let the students spend time with the dentist in the dental office setting. I have extended the program to include students wanting to attend dental school and help encourage students in realizing their desire for the dental profession. Albert Kang is a current intern in my office and I can see that his desire for the profession coupled with the knowledge and skills that I observe during his internship in my office will make him a fantastic dentist in the future. Comment to Albert: You even look like a dentist! Best of luck to you.
