The Remote Area Medical (RAM) nonprofit clinic recently made its first visit to Alaska, setting up pop-up clinics in Anchorage and Fairbanks to provide free dental, vision, and medical services to those in need. However, RAM faced a challenge when it came to staffing the clinics with dental hygiene volunteers.
Anchorage’s new Mobile Crisis Team — which includes fire service administration alumnus Michael Riley — responds specifically to mental health emergencies, saving traditional first responders crucial time and resources.
Dental hygiene students give back to the community by providing free dental care to children during the 2nd annual Children’s Day event.
Clinicians and students in the dental hygiene program wear orange shirts to recognize Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters.
UAA dental hygiene faculty participate in the signing of a Bill they say could open up additional practice options for students after graduation.
