Club Hosts President of American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry

The dental student Cosmetics Club hosted David Chan, D.D.S., 2021 President of the American Association of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) who presented a lecture and two-hour, hands-on course to more than 90 dental students on Friday, September 10, 2021.

Mohamed ‘Moe’ Badwan, D-3, Cosmetics Club vice president, lauded Chan’s hands-on simulation lab presentation as “an opportunity to connect and build on what we’ve been working very hard for the last year and a half with this organization, which is to be able to bridge the gap in esthetic education in the field of cosmetic dentistry.”

Franziska Klostermyer, D-4, Cosmetics Club president, noted the club has been trying to create more connections between the AACD and Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dental Medicine. Chan agreed to visit NSU after she reached out to him on Instagram.

Liliana Mosquera, D.D.S., the Cosmetics Club faculty adviser, and Sharon Siegel, D.D.S., M.S., M.B.A., professor and chair, Department of Prosthodontics at NSU-CDM, agreed that Chan’s presentation speaks to the College of Dental Medicine’s excellent reputation. The Cosmetics Club has more than 200 members and is one of the most popular student organizations in the College of Dental Medicine with excellent outside lecturers every month.
