Hear From Our Alumni
Dr. Saba Tohidkhah at the MDRCBB
Read this farewell write-up by Dr. Saba Tohidkhah on how her time at the MDRCBB provided her with valuable opportunities and supported her growth and development as a dentist and postdoctoral fellow.
My journey at MDRCBB has been an incredible chapter in my life's story, one that I will always cherish. Over the span of 20 enriching months at the University of Minnesota, I not only had the privilege of learning from some of the most esteemed professionals in the field, but I also had the opportunity to forge deep and lasting friendships.
MDRCBB provided me with unparalleled opportunities for growth and development, allowing me to hone my skills and expand my knowledge in ways I had never imagined. The supportive environment fostered at MDRCBB empowered me to push the boundaries of my potential and pursue my passions with fervor.
As I reflect on my time here, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the experiences I have had and the connections I have made. Each photograph I have included in this post holds a special memory; a snapshot of the moments shared with colleagues who have become like family to me. Saying goodbye to these friends as they move on to new adventures has been bittersweet, but I take solace in knowing that our paths will inevitably cross again in the future.
As I turn the page to a new chapter, I am filled with anticipation for the journey that lies ahead. While I will undoubtedly miss the familiarity and camaraderie of MDRCBB, I am excited for the opportunity to create new memories and embark on new adventures. With the lessons learned and friendships forged at MDRCBB guiding me, I am confident that the next chapter of my journey will be even more fulfilling and rewarding.
