In collaboration with Health Canada and the Haida Gwaii First Nations community, UBC opened the Skidegate Dental Clinic in the Haida Gwaii.
Today, our general practice residents enjoy a cultural and educational experience by actively providing dental care to the people of Haida Gwaii. This program allows residents to formally capture the community’s prevention and treatment needs as part of the development of a broader community dental health strategy.
About Community Outreach and Service Learning
Being a great dental school means stretching beyond the laboratory and the classroom. It’s a commitment to serve dental professionals and the larger community through outreach and community development efforts.
UBC’s Faculty of Dentistry has established a strong track record for developing and implementing new community programs to serve individuals with limited access to dental care as well as providing valuable experience for our students.
Our leading community outreach programs involve faculty, students, and alumni and facilitate several unique service-learning opportunities.
