The Rural Dentistry Scholars Elective course (RDSP) is for second and third year DDS students and Dental Therapy students selected to participate in the MN Collaborative Rural Oral Health Project (MN-CROHP) to address the rural dental workforce issues. Students spend 3.5 weeks in a rural dental practice in selected counties in MN under the mentorship of a rural dentist. During the same period they participate in community activities for oral health promotion and disease prevention instruction during community events and in K-12 schools and network with other health care providers in the community. Through a grant, students receive stipend and receive reimbursement for housing and travel costs.
