Dat Le

Student looks beyond textbooks toward leading-edge research

Dat Le, a Hunt School of Dental Medicine second-year student, had his research highlighted as the “Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Case of the Month” in the June issue of the Texas Dental Association's Texas Dental Journal. He presented his research at the Academy of General Dentistry 2022 Conference, and at TTUHSC El Paso’s 11th Annual Cultural Competency Conference and the Service Learning Symposium.

“This achievement would not have been possible without Dr. Angela Chi's invaluable guidance and support. The experience taught me to look beyond textbooks and explore the dynamic of scientific literature review. It motivates me to continue contributing to the dental field as much as I'm learning from it.”- Dat Le
