Description
The Dental Imprint Program is a pre-dental pipeline program geared toward middle and high school students in Detroit and the surrounding area. The Dental Imprint Program provides each participating school with field trips to University of Detroit Mercy Dental (including laboratory activities), career presentations, oral hygiene instruction and admissions workshops. The goal of the program is to encourage middle and high-schoolers from diverse backgrounds to go into dentistry, to ultimately increase the number of dental professionals in the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan.
Michigan Health Council does not administer all of the programs in this database. Please see the "organizations involved" above to learn who you should contact for more information.
