The Pennsylvania Department of Health Oral Health Program recently published a report, “Building a Sustainable Oral Health Workforce in Pennsylvania: Strategies for Reinvigorating Dental Careers and Strengthening the Pipeline.”
PCOH assisted with the coordination of this oral health workforce pipeline report. A special thanks also the the Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center, the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health, and the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers for contributing. The recommendations presented in this report are intended to guide future efforts to build a strong and sustainable dental workforce pipeline for Pennsylvania, ultimately improving oral health outcomes across the state.
