For our students, community outreach programs are an incredible opportunity for education, clinical skill development and a chance to grow their own sense of social responsibility as oral health care professionals.
The UBC Dentistry Community Outreach Program provides patient care and education to 53 communities across the province with treatment for over 2, patients in need in need each year. With your generous support, the program will continue to grow and become sustainable. The Dental Mission Project DMP was formed to support developing countries in desperate need of oral health care, prevention and education. Now, 50 years later, the Faculty is gearing up to move another kind of clinic on wheels: a mobile community dental clinic.
The mobile community dental clinic initiative will include a mobile cargo van to transport portable dental chairs, portable units, supplies and instruments to support dentists and dental hygienists in delivering a broad variety of oral health care to patients. The mobile clinic will increase the accessibility of oral health care for marginalized patients throughout the Lower Mainland and the across the province.
Access to dental care and treatment is a challenge for many people. Some have extensive mobility issues, such as the homebound disabled and elderly, and others cannot afford to receive care in a private dental office. A mobile clinic brings care directly to these individuals.
Along with delivering treatment, a mobile dental clinic promotes oral health care in the communities visited. Dental and dental hygiene students, as well as graduate students in clinical specialty programs, will provide curriculum-based oral health care services under the supervision of faculty members.
For services under the aegis of the Volunteer Community Clinic Program, volunteer community dentists will provide oversight for the students.
No university or government funding exists to support such an initiative at UBC. Other dental schools across Canada that operate similar mobile programs are successful doing so with private funding.
