The program creates a path for students interested in dental school or other graduate health programs, according to a Jan. 3 news release from the school. 

Through the program, students are prepared to become dental hygienists after graduation through real-world clinical experiences. 

The school will admit the program’s first class of students for the fall 2024 semester, 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.
