Hibbing Community College Dental Clinic is located approximately 200 miles north of Minneapolis and is operated as a joint venture between the University of Minnesota and the Hibbing Community College (HCC). The clinic is operated in collaboration with the existing dental assisting program at HCC. The patient population is primarily the underserved families of St. Louis, Lake, Cook, and Carlton Counties. Dental students assigned to this clinic become familiar with the characteristics of a rural practice and develop an understanding of operating such a practice, as well as gain experience in developing comprehensive dental treatment plans. The experience requires students to report to Hibbing on Sunday, in order to start their experience on Monday morning. Housing is provided at HCC. Students also receive a meal allowance when their rotation is at least two weeks in length.
