Hispanic Recruitment Program
HDA members have access to the new recruitment program, which will inspire young Hispanics to join the dental profession. This program provides a script and leave-behind information to facilitate our members' visits to elementary, junior high and high schools to act as role models and share "inside" information on becoming a dentist, dental hygienist or dental assistant. Students receive an article about opportunities in dental professions, a letter for parents (in both English and Spanish) and other interesting information to encourage their aspirations. This program is available to HDA members by calling the National office at 800-852-7921.
