Individuals with HIV/AIDS face persistent barriers accessing health care—particularly dental care. As major providers of dental care in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS dental programs, academic dental institutions play a critical role in serving this population. Yet, in 2013 alone, academic dental institutions were only reimbursed at the rate of 26%, leaving them with more than $32 million in non-reimbursed costs.
Join us for this important webinar to:
-
Explore the financial and administrative challenges of dental program grantees and future opportunities to strengthen the Ryan White HIV/AIDS dental programs;
-
Better understand the unique oral health needs of people living with HIV/AIDS; and
-
Identify the role academic dental institutions play in providing dental care to the HIV/AIDS community, training dental professionals and coordinating with primary care services.
Register today and join the conversation on @adeaweb using #RyanWhiteDental.
Leading Conversations, the ADEA Policy Center’s webinar series, brings together the dental education and higher education communities, health care professionals and health care organizations to discuss the important issues and trends impacting dental education and oral health.
