Quotes:
“Unfortunately, dental public health and the other subjects in the dental school are still relatively ‘siloed’.”
“It’s almost like a capstone project…where they suddenly see the light, if you will, where they understand what public health means in reality.”
“We see some very serious crises in society, like the opioid crisis, which is obviously linked both to social determinants of health and also to provider behaviors.”
“During my career…I’ve almost seen it all, and I’m sort of very optimistic at the moment.”
“The general oral health situation in the country has actually improved…but clearly, there are still some challenges.”
“Many of our students…have actually never met individuals that come from very diverse backgrounds.”
“That’s probably a weak point for us.”
