Meet your future D.D.S.. This is Alex Dorrough, TCDM third-year dental student most recently from Glastonbury, Connecticut. Alex graduated from Brigham Young University in Utah, but he says while there were many factors in the decision, it was mostly his upbringing and life of faith that led him to enter a medical career. "The commitment to serve and the ability to improve lives is what mostly attracted me to the field." Alex, who majored in Mandarin Chinese in college, dedicated much of his time to others before he even began his dental school path. "When I was a young volunteer in the Starfish Foster Home in Xi'an, China, my primary role was to provide comfort to babies with special needs who were starving for love and attention, caring for them before and after their surgeries." Alex recently played a large role in TCDM's initiatives with local schools, teaching elementary-school children about the importance of oral health. "I hope that one day I have a partner in practice who'd rather not work with kids - this way, he or she would happily hand those cases over to me." When asked about his best TCDM memory to date, he says, "I'm making my best new TCDM memory everyday. Every time I successfully complete a new procedure, I'm proud. I'm the guy giving high fives to everybody in the Rockland practice."

Meet your future D.D.S. This is Yujun Wang, a TCDM D3 from Los Angeles, California. Yujun may have traveled almost 3000 miles to get to here but he says, he found his home away from home at Touro College of Dental Medicine. Yujun says his favorite memory at TCDM was actually before he even got here. "May 3rd, 2016 - that was the best day. I received my acceptance that day. It said, 'you have been accepted into the Inaugural Class of 2020 at Touro College of Dental Medicine," he recalls with a smile. "I just want to say that I've really enjoyed my time here so far at TCDM. I've made a lot of friends and gotten to know and learn from some outstanding instructors. I look forward to the next year here." When he isn't practicing dentistry, Yujun enjoys food, exercise and travelling.
