musc student chapter

ABOUT

The Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine has an active student chapter of the Academy of General Dentistry. The South Carolina AGD constituent pays the membership fees for the student member dentists. We meet several times each year, usually on or around the MUSC campus. Our goal is to assist recent graduates and residents in becoming involved early in organized dentistry and helping them develop a passion for lifelong learning and quality patient care.

CE COURSES

The student AGD chapter at MUSC holds various CE courses throughout the year for students, many of which are open to dentists as well.
