Project Manager for Leadership Training

The School of Dental Medicine is composed of ten administrative offices and four academic departments. The Administrative units include the Offices of the Dean, Vice Dean, Associate Dean for Student Affairs, Associate Dean for Research, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, Associate Dean for Extramural Clinical Practices, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, Assistant Dean for Dental Education and Informatics, Assistant Dean for Academic Success and the Assistant Dean for Business Operations and Financial Affairs. The four academic departments are Surgical Sciences, Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, General Dentistry and Foundational Sciences.

Included in the mission of the School of Dental Medicine is to educate dental care providers (both dental students and dental residents) and to address the oral health care needs of the underserved population of North Carolina. The School of Dental Medicine meets these missions by operating dental clinics that provide both educational experiences for the dental students and residents and provides dental care to the residents of North Carolina. These clinics occur in both Ross Hall in

Greenville, North Carolina, as well as Community Service-Learning Centers located throughout North Carolina. To operate these clinics, appropriate dental auxiliaries and clinical staff are needed.

The purpose of this position is to coordinate the implementation of the HRSA training grant at the ECU School of Dental Medicine. ECU has been funded to: a) improve rural community engagement to advance oral health; b) improve care delivery for people with special needs; and c) provide leadership training in population health management and informatics to dental residents.

There are three overarching project strategies.

1) Establish a rural oral health innovation hub to enhance residency programs in a

network of rural sites.

2) Establish a Center for People with Special Health Needs to enhance existing

training and skills for management of patients with complex medical & dental needs.

3) Increase use of population health management tools and practices among

pediatric and general dentists to address gaps in needed dental services and track

improvements.

The position will work closely with the Project Director and the training sites to assure timely coordination and implementation of the project strategies. This position will coordinate case management services and support development of strategies to address oral health literacy. Work with Project Leadership, Community Partners, and ECU School of Dental Medicine CSLC Directors and Faculty to:

* Develop clear and detailed plans to implement the project and monitor progress

* Assure documentation of outcomes

* Assist in report generation to demonstrate the impact of the program
