The ACH Dental Clinic also enjoys a strong partnership with educational institutions in the way of teaching and mentoring dental students and residents.
The Pediatric Dentist will become a member of the Division of Pediatric Dentistry in the Section of Dentistry and Oral Health. Privileges will also be provided for access to the Non-Hospital Surgical Facility under the AHS Dentistry Contract.
