It’s been a busy summer!  We’ve wrapped up the 2008-2009 recruiting year and are happy to announce that we achieved 19 dentist placements in the state of Wisconsin for the year.  We found dentists for the communities of Kenosha, Ashland, Cashton, Superior, Neillsville, and Madison.  Here are photos of Scenic Bluffs CHC in Cashton – a great, thriving, busy clinic that serves the Amish community as well as 3 counties surrounding Cashton.

We’re proud to help bring more dentists to work in areas of the state that need more dentists.  And since the problem of access to dental care is so great we will keep moving forward!

Dentists – email Marsha Siik at siik@wisc.edu for information about openings in the state, in both rural and urban areas.

Clinic managers and practice owners – email Marsha Siik at siik@wisc.edu for help with finding an associate for your practice.

The Dentist Placement Program is in the Wisconsin Office of Rural Heath, which is part of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.  We have several programs that focus on rural, including WARM -The Wisconsin Academy for Rural Medicine.

WARM is dedicated to improving the supply of physicians in rural Wisconsin and improving the health of rural Wisconsin communities.  WARM holds an annual forum each summer to introduce the new WARM students.  It is always inspiring to meet them and learn about their interests in rural health.  For more information on WARM contact Alison Klein, at UW School of Medicine and Public Health. alklein2@wisc.edu.
