ASDOH Clinical Rotations


You've probably heard that here at ASDOH we have the opportunity to participate in community-based clinical rotations in our 4th year. I'm actually pretty excited about it because I think it will be a great chance to get out and see what's being done in the public health sector. I think its important for any dentist to contribute time and resources to the underserved. I'm not sure where the road will take me when I graduate dental school, but where ever I end up I want to volunteer on a regular bases at a community-based clinic where I can provide care for the underserved. So these clinical rotations will be a great chance to prepare for that sort of thing.

The logistics of each rotation vary greatly as to location, lodging, work performed, duration, etc. Its my understanding though that most of the rotations average about 6 weeks. As far as location goes, ASDOH has a dynamic list of sites that students can choose from. The school makes every attempt to connect the student with their top picks from the list. Also another option for the student is to help instigate a new location if for example there is not one in their home town or other desired location. I have listed below the current clinical rotation sites, but again...this list is constantly changing. Hope this helps!
