Team-Based Learning

The new facility will offer students who are training to be healthcare professionals — including dentists, 医生, dental hygienists, physician assistants, 护士, 药剂师, occupational therapists, registered dietitian nutritionists, social workers 和 others — the chance to learn 和 work together to provide holistic, patient-centered care. This unique learning experience will prepare students for success as thoughtful, collaborative practitioners across numerous health care specialties.

Collaborative Care

Patients will be able to access a variety of dental, medical 和 wellness services in one convenient location.

The clinic will include eight medical exam rooms, two medical procedure rooms, 30 dental operatories, an Ambulatory Surgery Center with two operating rooms, four enclosed sensory flexible medical/dental procedure rooms 和 a dedicated sensory waiting area for patients with intellectual, developmental 和 acquired disabilities with sensory sensitivity. We estimate that each year we will be able to serve 30,000 patients.

In addition, a mobile health clinic will help reach patients across the Sacramento community. The mobile health clinic will feature three treatment or exam areas that will be used for both oral 和 primary medical care.
