Saying

"When I found I was accepted to SMDEP, I was so excited! SMDEP brought a refreshing confidence in me, a realistic approach towards my goal as a medical doctor, and a hopeful outlook on life. I encourage anyone who wants to be a dentist or a medical doctor to apply to this program."
—Silvia Rotela, Broward College of Florida (SMDEP 2007)

"The whole SMDEP experience, from meeting other aspiring health professionals to volunteering in a health fair, will always be a part of my life. After this life-changing experience, I went to UC Santa Cruz, as a junior transfer student, and started the first pre-dental organization on campus."
—Edward Heath, UC Santa Cruz (SMDEP 2006)

"Through my participation in SMDEP, I learned many of life's most important lessons such as compassion, dedication, and humility from the people I met, experiences I had, and classes I took."
—Biyanka Patel, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (SMDEP 2008)
