University Dental School Relationship

Medi-Cal Dental Outreach has established relationships with the dental schools of California in several different ways. Lectures have been made available to senior dental students on the economic feasibility of a Medi-Cal Dental practice. Outreach encourages new graduates to work in underserved areas and has been a resource for students to contact. Outreach offers information on the areas that are in need and possible openings in clinics that we are familiar with.

Various clinics of each of the six dental schools are active providers in the Medi-Cal dental program and are often a resource for difficult or specialty member referrals. Outreach assists university billing staff when needed with policy and procedure questions.

Outreach has worked in cooperation with deans and professors of the dental schools to spread current training and knowledge in dentistry. Conferences and seminars have been held with speakers and instructors from the universities to discuss and distribute the latest technologies.
