This message is from Robin Comeau, coordinator of the UB Dental School Clinical Observation Program.
Due to the number of applications I have already received and due to the additional vaccination requirements for health care workers (Influenza), I am going to have to close the applications for the UB Dental Clinic Observation Program for this semester. This will give me a chance to process the ones I have and make the necessary revisions to the application for the Spring semester.
The following changes will be made to the application process:
1) Annual seasonal Influenza vaccination will be required (also H1N1 for 2009-2010) [effective now]
2) Program will be limited to individuals enrolled in either their second or third year of post - secondary (i.e., college) education.
3) There will be a limit of 25 program applicants each semester (September 1 & January 1).
4) Once accepted, applicants can participate for two consecutive semesters.

The first Pre Dental Association meeting of the year will be held tomorrow Wednesday, September 9 in 210 Student Union at 6:30pm. We will be having subs and pizza. There will be an introduction to the club for all new members and we will give you an understanding of what we do. Your input is necessary for the club to survive, so we will also be asking you what you want from the club this year and take any suggestions on activities. Good luck with your second week off classes and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
