Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Tuesdays 10 am-4 pm, some Thursday afternoons
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
Bilingual Dental Assistants (Non-Credentialed) help create access to dental healthcare for uninsured patients by assisting dental providers during our Tuesday dental clinics with tasks such as sterilizing tools, prepping patient trays, cleaning the exam stations between patients, as well as translating between providers and patients.
A medical or dental background may be useful, but is not required for this role--volunteers just need to be open to learning new skills.
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
Uninsured or underinsured patients in Albuquerque's International District, for whom dental healthcare is often inaccessible.
