PDS Health and Roseman University Join Forces to Revolutionize Dental Education
PDS Health and Roseman University Collaborate to Enhance Dental Education
PDS Health™, a prominent player in dental and medical support, has made a significant move in the field of dental education by announcing its partnership with the College of Dental Medicine at Roseman University of Health Sciences. This collaboration centers around the launch of a new and innovative external rotation program designed to provide dental students with enriching hands-on clinical experiences.
The DSO External Rotation Program, developed by Roseman University, immerses students in real-world dental practice environments, particularly at PDS Health locations in Las Vegas and across Nevada. Through this initiative, aspiring dentists will work under the supervision of skilled oral health care providers, allowing them to translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills while providing care to actual patients.
Stephen E. Thorne IV, the Founder and CEO of PDS Health, expressed pride in the partnership, stating, "By engaging with our clinical teams, dental students will acquire essential real-world experiences that will shape their success in future endeavors. This collaboration serves as a unique opportunity for students to observe how innovative technologies and cooperative care models are revolutionizing dentistry today."
One of the key aspects of this partnership is the focus on addressing the oral health needs of underserved communities. The initiative aims to provide students with insights into the unique challenges these populations face, fostering a greater understanding of the vital role accessible dental care plays in public health.
"This partnership not only offers our students invaluable practical experiences in authentic dental settings but also positively impacts our communities," noted Dr. Ryan Moffat, Assistant Dean of Oral Healthcare Education at Roseman University. He emphasized the importance of practical training, explaining that it significantly boosts students' confidence and equips them with the skills necessary for delivering high-quality dental care as they embark on their careers.
The College of Dental Medicine at Roseman University is already renowned for its innovative learning environment. Utilizing a unique educational framework known as the Six-Point Mastery Learning Model®, the college integrates active and collaborative learning techniques, competency-based education, and early experiential learning. This comprehensive approach ensures that students receive not only academic knowledge but also practical, firsthand experience in tackling real-world dental challenges.
Moreover, the institution is dedicated to promoting oral health, particularly among underserved populations, highlighting its mission to educate competent, compassionate dentists while conducting research and providing health services that benefit the community at large.
Founded in 1994, PDS Health has continually evolved to redefine healthcare by integrating dental and medical services, aiming to improve overall health outcomes. The organization's commitment to merging oral health with general health reflects its dedication to enhancing patient lives and setting industry standards.
In partnership, PDS Health and Roseman University are leading the charge to transform dental education by preparing a new generation of dentists who are not just skilled practitioners, but also advocates for community health and well-being. The alignment between PDS Health's resources and Roseman's educational expertise promises to create a lasting impact on both students and the communities they will serve.
