Student Chapters Update

UPDATES FROM STUDENT CHAPTERS OF THE FOUNDATION:

From Colorado State University:
Summary of club activities for last year:
Dr. Anna Fails lectured students on the dental anatomy of canines, felines, equids, bovids, and more. We offered dinner burritos to members who were able to attend this lecture. Dr. Ellen Lowery from VOHC gave an online lecture on how dental products are certified, many students loved this new presentation and received a Grubhub gift card for attending. Dr. Naomi Hoyer and Dr. Vaca helped guide students with dental extractions on canine cadavers. Dr. Vaca discussed Feline Oral Resorptive lesions and stomatitis with our members via Microsoft Teams in a separate event. We had Dr. Jen Kelley and Dr. Vaca assist students with extractions in a separate wet-lab that was focused on the students’ goal, whether the student wanted to extract all teeth, one tooth, suture, fix fistulas, and more was completely up to them. Dr. Patrick Vall gave a fantastic lecture on common oral pathologies also.

Any comments about the Forum from those who attended?
The forum was fantastic! I cannot wait until I get to go in-person. The proceedings were very helpful as I refer to them often to learn about new discoveries in the growing dentistry field.
