Quotes
“When you are practicing true community based research, you often go in with one idea, and come out realizing you need to do something totally different.”
“This course empowered, equipped and provided resources that were all in one location.”
“They are often recruited from the same community they go back and serve.”
“There is school, and then there is real life, and sometimes there is a disconnect.”
“I need to ask myself, ‘Did I do that?’ and if I didn’t, I need to go back and fix that.”
“There are very few problems in a dental office that cannot be solved through these three perspectives.”
