“Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine was chosen as the pilot program for the RCDEC. The Regional Collaborative Dental Education Center (RCDEC) as way to leverage funding and resources to create dental education opportunities. This program was created to provide veterinary schools with inadequate dental education, resources and financial assistance from the FVD. This funding creates centers of learning at veterinary schools to improve dental education for their students, veterinary clinicians, and veterinary para-professionals from their region. By providing a "bootstrapping" grant through the FVD, these schools can rapidly improve their level of dental education for their students and maximize the impact of this dental education with career-long improvement in dental competency for each successive class of graduates. At the same time, the equipment purchased with this funding provided continuing education opportunities which also benefits local clinicians, and their staff members, to raise the bar of dental care standards in the region. The program is designed to be self-sustaining by creating a revenue stream from continuing education programs; utilizing the same FVD-funded equipment for educating regional clinicians and paraprofessionals. This income will be utilized to provide maintenance and new equipment purchases to sustain the student education program into the future.”
