Advancing Careers Through Hands-on Education

This event also proved that dental hygienists can deliver high-quality continuing education for the entire dental team, not just RDHs. We had a virtual component led by India R. Chance, BSDH, RDH, CDIPC, and Emily Boge, EdD, RDH, CDA, that many dentists attended. Here, they were able to satisfy many of the states' course requirements for compliance, which included risk management of medical emergencies, infection control, and OSHA classes.

We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback after the event. Dovetta Johnson, Director of Marketing Communications and Director of Professional Relations - Hygiene with VOCO, states, "The Precision, Power, Prevention (P3) conference is laying the groundwork for hands-on events in 2023 and beyond. The passion and commitment was exhibited by each and every lecturer and proctor attached to this event, and the attendees were engaged and wanting more. One of my main takeaways is that everyone, whether they were an attendee, staff, lecturer, or proctor, worked in unison with each other to provide a ‘safe space' for all, which garnered in-depth, nonjudgmental conversations that enhanced the learning experience. Potential attendees are waiting anxiously as to where this event will appear this year. Based on last year's success, we can't wait to engage with this year's attendees."

We have already locked in dates for Precision, Power, Prevention this year in several locations, with more to come. For the most up-to-date information and registration information, visit www.drjoyrdh.com/precisionpowerprevention.
