title: Reaching out to meet the needs of many.
abstract: The School of Dentistry recognizes the value of outreach experiences in meeting its education and service missions. Patients who have difficulty accessing care are offered a way to get their needs met. Students gain clinical and professional insights that prepare them for their future roles in practice. Such a powerful combination of benefits encourages broad partnerships in our communities. Ultimately, in both the short and long terms, such efforts will go far to address the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.
