"During my dental school program, we were always encouraged to read Dentistry Today and Journal of the American Dental Association regularly. I'm also a member of the ADA currently. Knowing that pursuing oral surgery residency was a dream of mine two years ago, I started regularly reading the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to read about new research and procedures in the field. Upon matching into your program, I plan to join the AAOMS."
