The University of Louisville School of Dentistry prepares students for a career in Dentistry.

Dental Clinic Support employees are an integral part of that preparation in that they provide support to the students in all areas of preclinical and clinical activities, including but not limited to instrument supply, dispensary, sterilization, and simulation. In their first two years of studies, students learn in a traditional classroom setting supplemented by simulation and lab experience. During their third and fourth year, students transition to providing care for patients in a live clinic setting. Dental Clinic Support staff directly support the work of the students as they progress towards completion of their pre-clinical and clinical requirements.

The position provides instruments and dental materials to students providing treatment within the DMD clinics on the first floor.
