Out of the classroom: Dental hygiene students gain experience at Hopi Health Care Center 🦷
After a pandemic-induced hiatus, the partnership between the Department of Dental Hygiene and the Hopi Health Care Center is back up and running, offering dental hygiene students the opportunity for hands-on learning and dental care to patients on the Hopi Reservation. The program, which began in 2003 and is supported by the John and Sophie Ottens Foundation and Indian Health Services in addition to NAU, is an important experience for the students in becoming culturally competent healthcare providers. For National Dental Hygiene Month in October, learn what it’s like for the students.
