SF State University School of Nursing Oral Health training

SF Dental Hygiene Society in conjunction with Native American Health Center is working with SFSU School of Nursing to directly educate nursing students on oral health needs and disease prevention. 
2012 will start our 3rd year and the demand for RDH volunteer/educators is growing.
Imagine that every graduating student will have both didactic and practicum training in oral health.  This is an amazing opportunity to make a difference.  Ask me how you can help.
