Description:
|
This non-credit program is designed for Certified Dental Assistants (CDAs) and Dental Hygienists (RDHs) interested in exploring community dental health. Community Dental Health Coordinators (CDHC) are health care workers who help promote oral health in underserved communities. A CDHC is essentially a Community Health Worker (CHW) with an emphasized skill set related to oral health. Working under the direction of a dentist and in partnership with a community clinic, CDHCs will provide oral health education, prevention intervention, low level dental care, and help patients navigate an often complex public health system to received adequate oral health care. CDHCs will be working in communities, peoples' homes, and other locations under the same concept and realm of a CHW. The CDHC will also establish an emergency triage system and an organized oral health referral system with the Community Clinic or Federally Qualified Health System and dentists with whom they will be working. This non-credit certificate program is a 30-week 100-hour hybrid course, comprised of 28 hours of face-to-face in-class hours and 72 online class hours.
