Congratulations Rashmi Pillai – Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences!
Rashmi was the 2019 award recipients of The MDHA scholarship to attend ADHA’s 96th Annual Session in Louisville, Kentucky
Each year MDHA awards one or two scholarships for new graduates to attend annual session. MDHA welcomed Rashmi to her new profession as a Registered Dental Hygienist. Please take the time to read her story about her trip to Louisville. MDHA encourages all second year students to apply for this great scholarship.
Rashmi Pillai: “I had the incredible opportunity to attend 2019 ADHA Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. I was awarded a scholarship from the MDHA. It was my first conference and I cannot help but express my immense pleasure to be a student participant in this mega event. Being a recent graduate, I was not sure of what to expect from this opportunity. Yet, I was excited to meet so many new colleagues from all over the country who had the same passion I have for this field. Everyone whom I met there or spoke with made me feel very welcome in the conference and dental hygiene community.
I had the opportunity to attend a few continuing education classes with some of my own professors. I attended the district meetings and the House of Delegate meetings. With the district meetings, I saw how passionate each member of the MDHA was toward each cause. The members heard everyone’s opinion and reached decisions together. During the House of Delegates, I saw how issues were discussed and how laws were passed or rejected. This experience was very rewarding, and it showed me how important is it to remain connected with my professional association. Thank you MDHA!!”
