About HDA

The Hispanic Dental Association at the University of Houston is dedicated to supporting and empowering students who aspire to pursue careers in dentistry. Whether you are on the pre-dental or pre-dental hygiene path, our organization is here to guide you through every step of your journey.

Preparing for a career in the dental field can feel overwhelming, which is why our mission is to provide the resources, mentorship, and support you need to succeed. Through workshops, networking opportunities, guest speakers, volunteer events, and academic guidance, we aim to equip our members with the knowledge and experiences necessary to become competitive applicants and future healthcare professionals.

As a chapter of the Hispanic Dental Association, we also want to celebrate diversity and are committed to increasing representation within the dental profession. We believe that a diverse healthcare workforce leads to stronger communities and better patient care.

By fostering leadership, service, cultural awareness, and professional development, we hope to prepare our members to become compassionate, knowledgeable, and successful dental professionals who will make a lasting impact in their communities.
