Dental Medicine Students Serve the Underserved in Tennessee

The commitment of NSU’s College of Dental Medicine to underserved communities was on full display recently during a trip of dental students and faculty at the Remote Area Medical mission that took place in Cleveland Tennessee November 11-12, 2022.

Led by Assistant Dean of Community Programs and Public Health Mark Schweizer,  and Assistant Professor Norberto Coereza,  Department of Prosthodontics and D-3 dental students Mary Wick, Alexis Hagmann, Brett Skillet, Sekhar Gil-Uppal, Melissa Gonzalez Herrera, Soline Pierre-Gilles, Najwa Naami, Tra Ngo, Shaan Paroya, Vanessa-June Ovbiagele, Rosangela Salabarria Morejon, Matie Lestayo, Giselle Navarra, and Vuong Nguyen provided oral health care to the underserved rural populations of Tennessee.

Together they provided care to more than 200 patients and about $150,000 in donated dental services.

This was truly an amazing and memorable event and NSU-CDM looks forward to future collaborations with RAM.
