The American Pre-Dental Organization
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON


Our
MISSION
The American Pre-Dental Organization (APDO) is an organization at the University of Houston that began its journey in the fall of 2016. We strive to provide necessary guidance to our members which will allow them to excel as a dental applicants. We aim to do so by providing our members with various dental and non-dental related volunteer and leadership opportunities that will allow them to stand out as dental applicants. With many events planned for the upcoming year, we are excited to accompany all of our members on their paths into the field of dentistry.
Dental Admission Test (DAT)
APDO informs its members on what the test is and how to register for it. APDO hosts tutoring workshops that cover certain sections of the test as well as gives tips and tricks. We help members locate various resources and student materials to study for the exam.



TMDSAS & AADSAS APPS
APDO provides its members with Texas and out-of-state application workshops. The dental school application process can be challenging, and APDO makes it easier for its members to understand the process by explaining it thoroughly.



Dental Shadowing
APDO connects with dentists who are willing to allow pre-dental students to shadow them at their dental clinics. Whether it is a general dentist or a specific specialty (such as pediatrics), we strive for our members to be exposed to the field of dentistry.
