The Ferris State University Dental Hygiene program is excited to announce a truly unique continuing education opportunity. In partnership with the Ferris State University Study Away program, dental professionals are invited to participate in a once in a lifetime trip to Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa. This two week program is being planned for August 2013 during the 19th International Symposium on Dental Hygiene (August 14-17) sponsored by the International Federation of Dental Hygienists.

Dental professionals will have the opportunity to earn 12 Continuing Education Units. Participants will perform community service work and visit a dental education program. The trip will also include a safari along with many other cultural and educational activities. This program will be led by Sandra Burns, RDH, RN, BS, MS, Associate Professor of Dental Hygiene. Cost is contingent on a number of factors including the number of participants and airfare at time of purchase.
