Dentistry Students Present First “Practice Connection” Donation to the College of Dentistry

February, 2009

College of Dentistry students Rajan Sheth, Dan Kelley and Kevin Snyder worked together in 2008 to develop the Practice Connection.com, a web-based job search tool that helps connect dental students and graduates with practicing dentists who seek partners and staff for their practices.

The web site offers dental practitioners the ability to create a profile that includes pictures, relevant statistics, and a detailed description of their practice and positions that are available. Users can log in to search profiles for the ideal associate, partner, buy-out, or support staff.

Having made a commitment to give a portion of their profits from the Practice Connection to the College of Dentistry, Kelley, Snyder and Sheth presented their first donation check to Associate Dean Cheryl Devore and Assistant Dean Darrell Young on January 22nd.

The donation will be dedicated to the OSU College of Dentistry Student Development Fund, and the hope was expressed by Sheth, Kelley and Snyder that future donations would be even larger.

“This first check is a small one,” Snyder said, “but we hope to present the College with larger and more significant donations in the future, as we expand the Practice Connection to make it as successful as possible.”

The most recent improvements to the PracticeConnection.com include a redesigned pricing structure for individual and multiple postings, and new options for posting as many profiles as needed, both of which are changes that accommodate dental brokers and a broader range of clients.

Links to The Practice Connection are available in the “job postings” sections on the College’s alumni web page, and on the current students page. Or go directly to the web site at: www.thePracticeConnection.com.
