In this Good Day PA segment, CEO Michael Verber and Ann Hoffman, Director of the Dental Program at Central Penn College, discuss the critical dental workforce shortage in Pennsylvania.
With over 2 million residents lacking access to dental care, the shortage of dental hygienists and extended-function dental assistants is alarming.
Central Penn College is actively addressing this issue by offering accelerated dental assistant programs, expanded function dental assisting courses, and future plans for a dental hygiene program.
These career-oriented programs are designed to be completed in as little as 9 months, making them accessible and affordable, with various scholarships available.
