About Us
What is the Pacific Pre-Dental Society?
The Pacific Pre-Dental Society is the reformed version of the Pre-Dental Club, which was a small and relatively inactive club on campus. A group of students sought to revolutionize the Pre-Dental Club so that it could become a real resource for pre-dental students to use. The Pre-Dental Society was formed in order to provide support for University of the Pacific students who are interested in pursuing dentistry as a career.
​
This organization provides an excellent opportunity for students to meet dental school faculty, current dental students from various dental schools, as well as practitioners already in the field. It also offers volunteer opportunities, mock DAT exams, PAT and interview workshops, trips to Pacific's Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, and a comfortable atmosphere where all those interested or involved in dentistry can socialize and learn more about the field.
