Project Coordinator (PC)

The Project Coordinator (PC) will assist with the operational management of a postdoctoral training grant funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the supervision of the Project Director and Co-PIs, Dr. Lisa Berens. The overall goal of this project is to improve access to and delivery of oral health care services in rural and underserved communities by providing dental public health (DPH) trainees and general dentists who practice at community-based organizations (CBOs) with the skills necessary to manage oral health programs, evaluate systems of care, design surveillance systems, and provide clinical care to disadvantaged populations with complex dental needs.

The project objectives include:

• Establish an 8-week, 20-hours/week, clinical and administrative rotation for Dental Public Health resident trainees at partnering CBOs. Trainees will provide preventive and minimally invasive dental care while learning about quality improvement, medical-dental integration, and program administration.
• Expand CBO general dentists' ability to deliver pediatric and special care dentistry to vulnerable children and youth with special healthcare needs by providing didactic, simulation, and over-the-shoulder training in pediatric dentistry and special care dentistry to general dentists in these communities.
• Train DPH residents in oral health surveillance systems by collaborating with DPH programs nationwide to develop a remote course on designing and implementing oral health surveillance systems, combining didactic instruction with hands-on training.
• Train CBO dentists in dental public health by developing an online executive program that provides high-quality training in dental public health.
