Dr. Brian McNulty on his Educational Background
Read Transcript
I went to college at Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island, got a bachelor's in biology. When I was there, I was looking around for dental schools and found that North Carolina had a very good school. I had an undergraduate friend from high school who went to Carolina as an undergrad. He really liked it. Actually, three people from my high school class went to North Carolina and they really loved it there. It was cheap as an out-of-state student, it was a great place to go to school, and it had a fine dental school. So I made the leap of faith at that time, a long time ago, I came down to North Carolina for my dental training.
I got my degree in dentistry there and then, after that, I went to the United States Navy and I served three years in the U.S. Naval Dental Corp. I got a great experience: it was in a large dental clinic that had all the specialties covered there, and you got a chance to rotate through all those different specialties and got some great experience.
