Three years ago, Peter B. Ramsey Dental Society started its mentorship program. The ultimate goal is to encourage, motivate and mentor black students to consider the profession of dentistry as a viable career choice and subsequently become a successful applicant into dental school. To this date, approximately 20 students have been accepted to the mentorship program. Out of those 20 students, 9 have been accepted into the dental school of their choosing.  Institutions such as Howard, Eastern Carolina, Tufts, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, and University of Southern California have graciously accepted our mentees. The PBR mentorship program is actively working every day to ensure that our other students are successful as well.

Overview requirements:

• 3.0 GPA or higher
• Major in one of the Natural Sciences
• Wanting to apply to dental school
