Madeline Shank
Ann Arbor,MI
Summary
My name is Madeline Shank and I am a current fourth year dental student at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. I am a very motivated, organized, and energetic person inside and outside of dentistry. I hope to start practicing as a general dentist after graduation. The variety and patient connection that general dentistry offers is unbeatable. I am passionate about patient-centered care and I highly value the trust that we as professionals can cultivate with our patients. I am a continuous learner who wants to keep developing my skills as I start practicing.
