The grant will enable 开元棋牌鈥檚 Dental Education program to expand its offerings into new certification and continuing education programming in the area of Infection Control and Safety in the Dental Setting. Additionally, the grant enables 开元棋牌 to host the Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School Dental Assisting program students in the clinical setting.
