SMDEP Alumni News
Congratulations to Our 2007 Ambassador Incentive Winners!
Each year SMDEP honors up to three Ambassadors who recruit the most students
that submit completed applications by the deadline and are accepted into the
program. Winners will be funded to attend a medical- or dental-related professional
conference. The conference must be approved by the SMDEP National Program Office.
