Founded in 2000, the Pre-Dental Student Association (PDSA) at UCF is a community dedicated to supporting aspiring dental professionals throughout their journey to dental school.
Our mission is to provide members with opportunities for professional growth through shadowing, hands-on workshops, guest speakers, volunteer service, networking, and mentorship. Whether you're exploring dentistry or preparing your application, PDSA is here to help you build the knowledge, experience, and connections needed for success.
Above all, we're a community that encourages learning, leadership, and service, helping members grow into the next generation of dental professionals.
ABOUT US
If you are looking at our organization, it probably means that somewhere in you, there is a dream of being a dental provider. Maybe it is a dream that you have had since childhood, a path you are merely exploring, or a goal that feels so intimidating it scares you. For new and returning members, the Pre-Dental Student Association @ UCF exists for that version of you.
Thank you for taking the first step by finding us. We cannot wait to meet you, support you, and watch you grow into the kind of future provider your younger self would be proud of!
With gratitude,
Benjamin Le, President
