Try to organize 2 weeks ahead (need 5 dentists between pedo and general, two orthodontists). The director has a list of these people and their contact information.

Dentists/Orthodontists

• Pediatric dentists
• General dentists
• Orthodontists

Chairside Assistants (between 10 and 12, more then this is too many)

• UCSD Pre-dental
• USC/UCLA
• Long Beach State Pre-Dental Club
• Cal State San Bernadino Pre-Dental Club

During Clinic

• Generally most effective not doing treatment (need a minimum of five dentists)

• Lead morning huddle to introduce volunteers to clinic. Detail of huddle depends on experience of volunteers (if all rookies go over everything) should cover basic procedures set ups etc. Experienced clinician can lead.

• Work as “floater” during clinic, usually many small problems best solved by someone experienced (supplies, instruments etc.)
• Maintain patient flow (triage if needed) Periodic check with Gloria or hub

• Deal with x-ray problems

• Supervise undergraduate clinicians (best to assign to experienced clinician) all steps in their work should be checked
