COMMUNITY-BASED
DENTAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM |
|
The
CBDPP was first funded in FY 2002
to increase access to oral health
care services for HIV-positive individuals
while providing education and clinical
training for dental care providers,
especially those located in community-based
settings. To achieve its goals, the
CBDPP works through multipartner collaborations
between dental and dental hygiene
education programs and community-based
dentists and dental clinics. Community-based
program partners and consumers help
design programs and assess their impact.
Important
program components include the following
activities:
- Increasing access to
oral health care for people
with HIV
- Providing
dental and dental hygiene students
and postdoctoral dental residents
with training in the management
of oral health care for patients
with HIV
- Supporting
the training of the next generations
of oral health providers to enable
them to manage the oral health needs
of immunocompromised populations.
