Student Story

"I chose UNMC because the Endodontics Program is one of the most clinically intensive in the nation, with a strong focus on patient care and hands-on experience. My goal was to become the best clinical endodontist I can be right out of residency, and the UNMC College of Dentistry provided extensive opportunities to help me feel prepared for that transition. Beyond treating patients and refining my root canal skills, I really enjoyed the teaching aspect of the program." - Dr. Cameron Gray, Lincoln
