Student Proud Week ‘24. Wrapped!
What a great week! You built playlists, passed quizzes, shared pix, advice and stories, entered contests, won prizes and participated like never before! ADHA and our Student Proud Week ’24 partners at Heartland Dental are so happy to have shared this special week with you and celebrated you with fun activities and awesome prizes!
As you prepare to enter the profession, you’re getting ready for what’s next! You may be preparing to graduate and step out into the profession. Or you’ve still got your curriculum ahead of you and we’ll see you back again for Student Proud Week next year.
Either way, ADHA and Heartland Dental have your back. Embracing innovation, prioritizing the whole patient, and driving change for optimal outcomes is what we’re all about and we’re here for you at every step of your career.
