The UConn School of Dental Medicine is celebrating the Class of 2026 as they receive their residency placements. “UConn’s value of education and student development allowed me to find and pursue my passion in dental school. I am beyond thrilled to have matched into UConn’s six-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program. My experience at UConn Dental has prepared me well to continue to serve the people of Connecticut, my home state, as a resident. “What made my experience truly special was the unwavering support of my faculty and classmates, who helped me reach my goals throughout dental school.
