Minnesota to Become First U.S. Dental School to Educate Dental Therapists

The University of Minnesota will become the first dental school in the nation to educate midlevel providers, called dental therapists, who will care for underserved patient populations in the state. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty signed legislation on May 16 that delineates the education, supervision and scope of practice requirements for dental therapists, who will be licensed to practice in Minnesota no sooner than 2011.

On May 21, Dean Patrick Lloyd addressed the students, staff and faculty of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry to explain the specifics of the new legislation. He discussed the School of Dentistry's role as a resource to the state about issues related to oral health, dental education and the delivery of oral health services. He also reviewed the contributions of faculty experts in pediatric dentistry, dental hygiene, community oral health, operative dentistry and academic affairs who developed the rigorous didactic and clinical curriculum for dental therapy students.
