If I talk to one who is a good fit, then the effort to come here was well worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also attending was Charles Skoglund, D.D.S., of Norfolk, who assists new graduates in developing practices in rural communities. &#8220;There is a potential out there you can&#8217;t believe. We want to put graduates into rural areas where they can develop into an integral part of the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"fIOYJD  mBEo QgHtm lGFni\"><!-- fIOYJD  mBEo QgHtm lGFni --><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UNMC College of Dentistry held its second Practice Opportunities Fair Sept. 12.
