In third year, we were enrolled in an oral medicine course with Dr. Laronde. The course proved to be difficult as this was our first in-depth exposure to oral lesions. The class was divided into groups for Case 1 and worked on each case together to dissect the issues. I learned a lot about the importance of collaboration as studying each oral lesion/disease was a long and laborious process. With the help of my classmates, we each contributed our knowledge and research which expedited the process of the assignment.
