The three organizations are aiming to foster economic empowerment and create jobs in dentistry for women in Chicago, according to a March 7 news release. 

Through the partnership, individuals will participate in a program to prepare them to work as dental assistants in Chicago, Evergreen Park and Oak Lawn, Ill. 

Women Employed will provide need-based financial assistance for program tuition and other ancillary expenses. 

The Aspen Group’s Oral Care Center also serves as a dental assisting externship site for participants in MCC’s dental assisting programs to provide on-site training for clinical experience, 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.
