Dental Student (D3)
University of Louisville, Louisville,KY
University of Louisville School of Dentistry
Hi there! My name is Rob Donegan, I am a D3 student at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, and currently serve as President of Louisville's Student Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (SCAAPD).
My passion for pediatrics, and assisting children in need was shaped during my undergraduate studies, where I worked closely with children undergoing treatment for pediatric cancer. My research while pursuing my DMD degree focuses on developing a gamified, AI-driven educational application designed to enhance pediatric nutrition choices and strengthen oral health understanding among children and caregivers.
Outside of dentistry, I enjoy strength training, hiking, hands-on engineering projects, writing, and spending time with my family. I'm deeply passionate about leadership, mentorship, and advancing the field of pediatric dentistry through innovation and service.
