NNOHA is the largest group of safety-net oral health practitioners in the country, and our members all share a commitment to increasing access to quality oral health care for underserved populations. NNOHA is committed to providing the highest quality resources and support designed to meet the unique needs of our members and their programs.

National Network for Oral Health Access (NNOHA) is seeking interested health centers to participate in a virtual Learning Collaborative on Optimizing the Dental Assistant Workforce (DAW) funded through NNOHA’s cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The Learning Collaborative will take place from January to June 2025. This learning collaborative will be 100% virtual. The goal of the DAW Learning Collaborative is to optimize and enhance the dental assistant workforce by sharing strategies to improve recruitment, training and retention of dental assistants in health centers. DAW participants will learn fundamental skills to plan and develop their own dental assistant training programs. Dental assistant training programs aim to:

  1. Increase community capacity by creating career opportunities and pathways.

  2. Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of health center dental programs by increasing the dental assistant workforce.

  3. Improve retention of existing dental assistants by offering career growth opportunities


More information regarding this opportunity is available in the PDF application (for reference only).


For questions about this learning collaborative, please contact Candace Owen at candace@nnoha.org.


Online applications are due no later than 5:00pm PST on November 8, 2024. Emailed and paper applications will not be accepted.
