Rutgers School of Dental Medicine would like to introduce you and your students to our signature pipeline program “Gateway to Dentistry”. This is a unique, 2-week internship that provides college students with lectures, hands-on dental exercises and clinical observation experiences that familiarize them with the many facets of the profession and with dental school life.
Twice a year 30 college students from across the United States experience the “Gateway to Dentistry” program. Approximately one-fifth to one-fourth of each RSDM incoming class is comprised of Gateway graduates. 
Perhaps these comments from program participants say it best:
 “Being able to hear from professionals in the field who are extremely knowledgeable and excited about dentistry was instructive and inspiring.”
“This program was an amazing opportunity and I truly enjoyed myself. It has secured my desire to attend dental school and succeed in the dental field. Thank you!”
“I had a great experience and would love to do it again if I could.”
Please share this email with your health professions advisees, counselors or others that may want to learn about the program. The link to the program website is below, which provides the dates, full program description, how to apply on-line, application deadlines and required supporting documentation (a current transcript and a letter of recommendation from a health professions advisor or a basic science professor).
