The Oral Health Navigator training is a newly developed skill set in Maine. The work of a trained person varies by employment location. Some may use this training to enhance their knowledge of oral health to serve the communities they already work with (ie. RNs, CNAs, CHWs, MDs, etc.). Others may use what they learn in this training to seek new employment opportunities! Those with Oral Health Navigator training may assist with care navigation, oral health assessment, dental team support, patient support, and more!
More details on this to come! For current offerings, email: ohn@mcd.org.
