Community Dental Health Coordinator

At the request of the American Dental Association's House of Delegates and with financial support from the ADA Foundation, the ADA is developing model training programs for a new personnel category-the Community Dental Health Coordinator (CDHC). The National Coordinating and Development Committee, chaired by Dr. Bob Brandjord, is responsible for developing a comprehensive curriculum model, including implementation and evaluation guidelines. Phase 1 of this project, the actual development of the curriculum, is well under way.
The National Committee also is working hard to identify funding for Phase 2 and at least three sites where the CDHC training program could be piloted in late 2007.
