WCHP supports pop-up clinic offering free dental care

September 15, 2022

This past August, Savannah area citizens were provided free dental services at a pop-up clinic courtesy of the Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council. Remote Area Medical (RAM) held a free, two-day dental clinic for adults where services included oral health exams, oral cancer screenings, dental cleanings, dental fillings, dental extractions, dental x-rays and hearing tests.

Faculty from the Waters College of Health Professions along with students enrolled in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program, Nuclear Medicine program, and Radiation Therapy program volunteered to help make the event a success.

Two hundred and thirty-seven citizens were served during the event and over $95,000 worth of free dentistry services was provided.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements.  Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
