• Establish a Center for People with Special Health Needs to enhance existing training and skills for management of patients with complex medical & dental needs.
• 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.
