Virtual SCDHA Welcome 
&  Cocktail Hour     

Ohio Legislative Update:

The Role of Advocacy in Dental Hygiene (1 CE)

Plan to join us in a fun virtual event (BYOBeverage) as we kick-off the "new normal" 2020-21 SCDHA membership year to welcome returning and new SCDHA members, recent graduates, and students.  We have lots to talk about!  

Date:   Thursday, September 17, 2020
Time:   7:00 PM

We are pleased to have Matt Whitehead, Vice President of Governmental Policy Group, Inc. and state legislative lobbyist on behalf of ODHA, as our guest speaker for the evening.  He will be joining us via Zoom and will be addressing the role of the dental hygienist in dental hygiene practice advocacy as well as advocacy for “all things” oral health. He will address how we can all be part of a collective voice concerning current or future legislation that impacts our profession.    

Please RSVP to scdhapresident@gmail.com no later than September 16 to receive a link to the meeting.

SSC Dental Hygiene Student Informative Poster Presentations

SSC students will be delivering Informative Poster Sessions virtually this year. This event provides student presenters an opportunity to share research and/or best practices relevant to dental hygiene practice and oral health. 
 

We need your help!  To help make this event successful, we need SCDHA members to view and score the virtual presentations (using ODHA rubric). Ideally, it is recommended to have 2-3 adjudications per presentation.  Can earn 1 CE for “judging.” 
 

The presentations will be available for one week which spans Monday, October 26, 2020 and evaluation forms must be returned no later than Monday November 2, 2020.   During this window of time you will need to access and review the presentation, “judge” it using a provided form, and send it back to the faculty.
 

If you are willing to volunteer, please contact  Lisa Welch at lwelch@starkstate.edu
