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 November 12–14 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.
