PEDIATRIC DENTAL STUDENTS AND GRADUATES The CAPD-ACDP recognizes that the future national voice of pediatric dentistry in Canada lies within its graduate student population. Whether students are participating in a program within Canada or in the United States, there is one common thread amongst them all - they are linked together and with their active CAPD-ACDP member colleagues through the CAPD-ACDP website at http://capd-acdp.org/GradResearch. Some of the Graduate presenters (and friends) on the St. Lawrence Cruise, 2014 Annual Meeting in Montreal, QC. Four Things to Keep in Mind! 1 Registration for the Annual Meeting is complimentary! This means you can attend the scientific sessions, meals, social events on Friday and Saturday nights at no cost. All you pay is your transportation and accommodation.
