Dental Hygiene Internship

Catalog description

This course will provide the Dental Hygiene student with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the dental hygiene curriculum in an intership experience. Under the guidance of the course instructor the dental hygiene student intern will select a field site in an alternative practice setting (not private practice). With the help of the site’s primary mentor the intern will set goals and objectives that will allow them to become an integral member of the organization. The intership will consist of direct observation, participation and supervised teaching or fieldwork.
