How an Arts Major Found Passion in Dental Hygiene

Jose has recently graduated from dental hygiene school at NYU's associate's program and plans to continue his education by getting a bachelor's in health promotion and education. He talks about how his major in arts helped him appreciate the field of dentistry when he worked as an orthodontics dental assistant. This clinical experience helped him stand out on his application since his GPA wasn't as high as he hoped. Despite not getting accepted into a program on his first try, Jose made the most of his education in dental hygiene school. He was class president and was a member of several associations during his schooling. I found his story really motivating, especially for future hygiene students who are feeling stuck in their journey.Submit your application for the DHB Scholarship HERE!
