Williams \u2014 who is a\ndentist \u2014 Transylvania University Pre-Dental Club students carpooled to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.missionlexington.org\/\">Mission Lexington<\/a> clinic earlier\nthis week to learn more about the field and volunteer opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin Prichard, coordinator of pre-heath programs, pointed out how Williams (pictured right) has been an asset to students and the staff who help them along the path to a dental career \u2014 both through his background as a dental school administrator and his connections with local clinics. \u201cDr. Williams has just been wonderful in helping us figure out how to better prepare our students,\u201d Prichard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the field trip, he discussed the future of dentistry and checked out  the clinic&#8217;s equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Sarah Haerle, president of the Pre-Dental Club, said\nWilliams has been a good mentor. &#8220;He has given me so much guidance and\nadvice over the past year as I took my dental school admissions exam, applied\nto several schools and later interviewed with them. He cares so deeply for all\nof his mentees, and it really shows in the way he carries himself and dedicates\nso much of his time and energy to ensure we succeed.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haerle is no stranger to the clinic, having volunteered\nthere. &#8220;I really think that Mission Lexington has been one of the most\nvaluable volunteer opportunities I have ever been a part of,&#8221; she\nsaid.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On her second day there, she assisted with a root canal \u2014\nand was pretty nervous. \u201cBut I had no need to be, because the patients and\ndentists were all so friendly and willing to let me learn on the spot to expand\nmy dental skills and knowledge,\u201d she said. \u201cI&#8217;ve seen all sorts of procedures\nsince then, ranging from simple cleanings to extractions and so much more. I\nhave also been able to make great connections with the patients as they come in\nfor follow-up appointments, which has really driven me to continue pursuing my\npassion for dentistry.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, volunteering and other types of experience are necessary when applying to professional schools. So Prichard makes sure Transylvania students have plenty of opportunities to learn about getting hands-on work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania pre-health students also learned about volunteering at the University of Kentucky Salvation Army Clinic as they wrapped up Pre-Health Week last Friday. Plus they got advice from seven Transy alumni who are first- and second-year medical students. (J.T. Henderson &#8217;18 is the clinic manager.) \u201cIt was so valuable to our students,\u201d Prichard said of the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-810x604.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-810x604.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-350x261.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-730x544.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-1536x1145.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-2048x1527.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/salvation-1-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption>Transy alumni attending the UK College of Medicine gave advice to pre-med students during a recent visit to the Salvation Army Clinic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joined by Interim President John N.
