On Monday, April 13, the dental hygiene students participated in the 6th Annual Dental Sealant Clinic for fifth grade students from Cedar Hall Elementary School. The children were transported to USI by I-V Coach Lines. In addition to receiving sealant, each child received a dental examination, oral health education, and a fluoride treatment. Members of the USI Student American Dental Hygienists' Association traveled with program faculty to St. Louis on April 16 through April 17 to attend the Dental Health Theater. The trip was partially funded with monies raised from selling sweatshirts.
Assistance is needed with such activities as lining up inductees and seating guests.
Members of the OT Class of 1998, the OT Class of 1999, and the OTA Class of 1998 will present both interactive poster and platform presentations. There is no cost to attend. Everyone is welcome. Because of an additional clinical site at Jasper, a few more students will be accepted this year. The clinical instructor for the program at St. Mary's Medical Center, Doris Allen , has resigned after 17 years in this capacity.
