The Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) at Detroit Mercy Dental aims to assist students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds with gaining admission to dental school, and succeeding in their future careers in dentistry.
Over the span of four weeks, various educational and professional development experiences will be provided to SEP participants, including intensive DAT courses, dental school application assistance, simulation lab activities, dental specialty panels, primary care exposure, along with academic success, professional development, and cultural competency seminars. SEP will also coordinate several social activities for participants within the city of Detroit, and networking events with Detroit Mercy Dental students, staff, faculty, and alumni, along with local dentists in the community.
With acceptance into the program, SEP provides cost-free housing and complimentary DAT preparation. A stipend to cover food and travel expenses is also included.
