RAM Mission Trip Provides More Than $160,000 in Dental Services
Under the leadership of Dr. Steven Kaltman, Dean of Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine and Dr. Mark Schweizer, Assistant Dean of Community Programs and Public Health, we pride ourselves on being a good neighbor while creating a nurturing environment where dental students can learn to be “compassionate and caring professionals and giving back to our community”.
To put into practice the NSU CDM commitment to inclusivity and service, we have partnered with several community organizations to provide opportunities for student- dentists to build a lifelong enthusiasm for community outreach.
The college recently collaborated with Remote Area Medical on September 17-18 in Sparta, Tennessee.
About 410 extractions and 200 filling procedures for more than $160,000 in donated dental services were provided.
