Dental assistants are finally getting the recognition and support they deserve, and this new scholarship opportunity could open doors that were previously unavailable.
In this episode, industry leaders Gary Steinberg and Andrew Whitehead join Kevin Henry, Editor-in-Chief of DrBicuspid.com and founder of Dental Assistant Nation, to announce a new scholarship program focused on infection control education for dental assistants.
After decades in the dental industry, both Steinberg and Whitehead share why they felt it was time to give back and address a major gap in training and recognition.
More than 80% percent of dental assistants are responsible for infection control in their practices, and the need for proper education has never been more urgent. This scholarship aims to provide access to certification programs that can improve patient safety, strengthen professional skills, and elevate the role of dental assistants across the industry.
They also discuss the mission behind the initiative, the impact of past scholarship programs, and how this effort can shape the future of dental care. If you are a dental assistant looking to grow your career and make a greater impact, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
Learn more about the scholarship through the Association for Dental Safety and the Dental Trade Alliance Foundation.
