The grant is part of the HRSA’s predoctoral training general, pediatric and public health dentistry and dental hygiene program, according to an Aug. 10 KZRG article.
The grant will help the school serve vulnerable and underserved communities once it opens in 2023 in Joplin, Mo. The funds will go toward its Educational Navigation for Rural and Interprofessional Community Health program, which will create a career pathway for primary care dentists who will deliver patient-centered dental care throughout Southwest Missouri, Southeast Kansas, Northeastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
