The population of Brunswick County is growing at warp speed, with an increase of 32 percent in the last decade alone. With that growth has come an increased demand for quality dental care, something 91¹ú²úÊÓÆµ (91¹ú²úÊÓÆµ) will soon be helping to fulfill. Beginning this fall, Dental Assisting will become part of 91¹ú²úÊÓÆµ’s Health Sciences offerings, thanks to a $424,850 High-Cost Workforce Grant from the State Board of Community Colleges.

The program involves a partnership with the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine Community Service Learning Center in Bolivia, where students will complete the practical part of their training. “We are incredibly excited to offer this new opportunity to our students and community,” said Dr. Kevin Lee, 91¹ú²úÊÓÆµ’s Vice President of Academic Affairs & Chief Academic Officer. “Our partnership with ECU will provide a unique opportunity for our students to learn in a clinical lab setting with actual patients, right here in Brunswick County. Combined with classroom instruction, students can sit for certification in just two semesters.”

The 91¹ú²úÊÓÆµ program will consist of 325 instructional hours and begin this fall with a class of 12 students per semester. The college is one of 14 colleges awarded funding based on their full-time enrollment.
