 | | “Dentistry is an increasingly popular career choice,” said Dr. Richard Valachovic, executive director of the ADEA, a nonprofit dental education organization based in Washington, D.C., that assists students interested in applying to dental schools. |
 | | Also, Dr. Bruce Sanders, assistant dean of outreach and diversity of UCLA School of Dentistry, said the fact that a dentist can establish family-friendly working hours is appealing to many, including the large numbers of women entering the profession. |
 | | Sanders, a retired oral surgeon who has taught at UCLA School of Dentistry since 1974, said he expects applicants to shadow a dentist at work or volunteer at a dental office or in a community clinic before applying to dental school. |
