What if you could provide dental care to the underserved community on a grander scale? Kelli C. Johnson, RDH, B.A.S., does just that as a dental program manager for AmeriHealth Caritas
District of Columbia. Working together with corporate dental teams, Ms. Johnson is able to establish fresh initiatives geared towards providing dental care to an increasing number of children and adults with Medicaid insurance. Ms. Johnson recently sat down

The 2017 Application Season is Underway! Apply Early in June, July and August.
|
One key component of completing and submitting an application for dental school is that you are encouraged to do it early. Early submission assures sufficient time to obtain all supporting
documents and allows you to correct any unidentified errors that may pop up later. Individuals planning to apply to dental school should do so one year before they wish to enter a dental program.
