Held in partnership with the American and Canadian Dental Hygienists’ Associations, the conference “Overcoming Challenges in Conducting Research and Measuring Patient Outcomes,” provides dental hygienists from around the world an opportunity to share their original research.

Global Dental Hygiene Research Conference workshops will focus on skill development in the areas of clinical research, community research and program development, overcoming the fear of statistics, using data to improve access to care, disseminating results, faculty development and mentoring, and finding evidence in a fake news world.

Training programs will be available for all levels. A total of 15 continuing education units can be earned during the conference.

Academic institutions are encouraged to share this information with the rest of their faculty, and students. They will receive a reduced registration fee due to generous support from the center’s corporate supporters. Find out more at: dhnet.org.
