The dental class of 2021 and Dental Hygiene Class of 2020 were welcomed to the clinical phase of their educational programs during the annual Transitioning Into the Profession Ceremony, held June 7 at the Unity Temple on the Plaza. Dr. Bill Busch, owner of North Kansas City Dental and co-founder and creator of TeamSmile, was the keynote speaker. Representatives of each class took turns reading their Code of Ethics. All class members signed their code as they crossed the stage and then received their white coat for DDS students or scrubs for DH students. After the ceremony, participants and well-wishers adjourned to the School of Dentistry for a reception.
