Not having been there last year, I have no reference for comparison, but I think it was a great turnout. The students were very motivated and I could tell that they were very interested in oral cancer. I was pushing the idea that they try to get the students from Temple to work with them and have even a greater number of walkers next year. The screening looked busy all the time.
On a personal level, I was thrilled to be asked to address the dental students in May. I hope that this turns into a yearly appearance as it did when I spoke to the students at Temple Dental.
