It was a very easy offer to say yes to, and the staff and students were excited to be able to help out and get some hands on experience! They were able to help 50 patients throughout the day. Students from the Dental Assistant program were thrilled with the opportunity to assist at chairside and with sterilization, and the newest students helped at the front desk. A very busy day left the class feeling rewarded by being able to help so many veterans in such a short time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Huntsville-Divine-Expressions-Dentistry-Freedom-Day-USA-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ross Medical Education Center Huntsville Divine Expressions Dentistry Freedom Day USA\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-40234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Huntsville-Divine-Expressions-Dentistry-Freedom-Day-USA-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rosseducation.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Ross-Medical-Education-Center-Huntsville-Divine-Expressions-Dentistry-Freedom-Day-USA-2.jpg 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Many of the students expressed their enthusiasm for having been a part of the event. \u201cI\u2019m still excited!\u201d shared current student Katie Sturdivant. \u201cI loved working with the Divine Expressions staff.\u201d Classmate Dominique Grays agreed, \u201cIt was a great learning experience, great atmosphere and very hands on.\u201d \u201cIt was a quality learning experience,\u201d said Jay Beebe.
