CDEN 740 Community Based Rotations

Credits: 1 to 4
This course is an eight-week extramural rotation, with an additional one week rotation at the OHSU Russell Street Clinic. In this course students will develop an understanding of issues associated with under-served populations through first-hand experience treating patients in a diverse array of off-campus community dental clinics and private practices in both urban and rural settings. Through direct participation in an off-campus service learning environment, students are introduced to the benefits of community-campus collaborations, inter-professional care, social determinants of health, and applied public health concepts.
