WSDA Mentor Program
The WSDA Mentor Program gives member dentists and dental students the opportunity to connect with a cohort of mentor dentists open to offering professional guidance and mentorship.
Program Format & Events
Through its convenient online format, the WSDA Mentor Program gives dentists and dental students year-round access to WSDA mentors. Browse the dozens of mentors who have opted into the program, learn more about their personal and professional experiences through their online profile, and reach out to connect!
Whether you’re looking for guidance on where to practice, which specialty to consider, whether to pursue ownership vs. associateship and more, there’s a WSDA mentor available to share their perspective and experiences.
- Connect via Online Profiles: Connect with mentors year-round by browsing WSDA’s online mentor dentist directory. Each WSDA mentor has their own online profile, complete with a photo, a brief bio, and contact information.
- Attend In-Person and Virtual Events: WSDA hosts two in-person receptions and two virtual networking sessions each year. The in-person receptions are held at the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference and the WSDA House of Delegates. The virtual networking sessions are held in the spring and fall.
