The ADREACH (MPH/AEGD) is a new program that will offer training in general dentistry, at community dental clinics, and master-level education in public health.  The students in the two-year program will receive a certificate in AEGD from the Lutheran Medical Center in New York, and a MPH from the University of Michigan.  They will also receive a stipend, fringe benefits, and tuition reimbursement contingent on clinical production in the community dental clinics.  The AEGD component with the stipend and tuition are only available for dentists licensed to practice in at least one state in the U.S.

The ADREACH post-graduate or continuing education program is available for dentists or hygienists.  The full program will be offered full-time in June and July of each year.  Students may enroll in the full or selected sections of the program.  The topics to be covered will include, principles of dental public health practice, evidence-based dentistry (1 week), research design, general and oral/dental epidemiology, burden of oral and dental conditions, health promotion and prevention, program planning and evaluation, and community mobilization. Active learning will be promoted through the use lectures, problem-based learning, and discussions among teams of students.
