Mentor Program

Because the Mentor Program is mostly self-guided, both dentists and students must make an individual effort to connect with each other.

WSDA asks that our mentor dentists:

• Commit to mentoring their student(s) through their graduation year.
• Remain a member of the WSDA through their time in the program.
• Make their best effort to attend the annual Mentor Reception in October.
• Invite students to meet in person at other WSDA events (PNDC, Dental Action Day, etc.) or through self-scheduled meet-ups (mentor dinners, coffee meetings, office shadowing opportunities, etc.) throughout the year.
• Reach out regularly to connect through phone and email when in-person meetings are not possible.
