Photo by Norm Shafer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Just three years later, Kalkstein\u2019s colorful story spans three countries and culminates with an acceptance letter and academic scholarship to dental school at Howard University. Sharing a vibrant narrative of eye-opening mission trips, engaging faculty mentors and hands-on dental experience, Kalkstein paints a picture that places Mary Washington as the canvas for his future.<\/p>\n<p>Diving into a biology major his first year on campus, Kalkstein admits he was taken aback by the rigor of his courses and struggled with the academic transition. Then he found the spark that pushed him to excel at school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could see myself being a dentist,\u201d said Kalkstein, reflecting on his time shadowing his family dentist in Arlington, Virginia. \u201cI would observe, help sterilize equipment and work directly with patients. I loved how hands-on it was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The one-and-a-half-month immersion was the taste Kalkstein needed to make academics his priority and seek out other experiences in dentistry. Over the next two years, he joined mission trips to Haiti and Panama as part of International Medical Relief\u2019s dental team, helping dentists who performed extractions and fluoride treatments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gained a ton of perspective,\u201d said Kalkstein, who shared stories about patients with rotting teeth, decay and intense pain. \u201cOral health isn\u2019t a priority in places like Haiti and Panama, which causes so much suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides assisting with dental procedures, Kalkstein handed out toothpaste and toothbrushes, and worked with translators to deliver pre- and post-operation reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized how valuable and fulfilling it is to give back,\u201d said Kalkstein. \u201cThe trips only motivated me further to become a dentist and possibly one day start my own nonprofit that hosts mission trips.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in Fredericksburg, Kalkstein had the ideal network and pre-dental program within the biology department to support his vision and launch his dental career.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19707\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19707\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"19707\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatminds\/2017\/03\/22\/destined-for-dentistry\/photographer-177\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatminds\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/03\/Dentist201.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3000,2202\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Norm Shafer&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X-T1&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;UMW Senior Jake Kalkstein who&#039;s been admitted to dental school, in the office of local dentist, Dr. Theresa Y.
