“I have been blessed to be surrounded by incredible people who supported my crazy ideas and joined in on the fun of implementing oral health initiatives,” says Dr. Duong. “I am thankful to my mentors for their passion, guidance, and strength.”
More than 200 dentists were nominated, shining a spotlight on the incredible contributions of new dentists. Another outstanding ATSU-ASDOH faculty member and alumna, Seena Patel, DMD, MPH, ’10, was among the nominees.
“I’m so honored to be nominated for this award,” says Dr. Patel. “I’m grateful to share this with so many incredible young dentists across the nation. It inspires me to continue to contribute in dental education, dental research, and patient care.”
Congratulations to Drs. Duong and Patel on this well-deserved recognition!
