The funds will be used to train and educate dental students on the best ways to deliver more dental care to individuals with medically complex or behavioral healthcare needs, according to an Oct. 20 news release from the university.
The project will also establish a mentoring program for pre-dental students in rural areas of Alabama.
The grant is from the Health Resources and Services Administration and will be distributed over five years, the release said.
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.
