Are you a general dentist, specialist, hygienist, dental assistant or other dental auxiliary interested in making a difference in the lives of low-income residents in your community? Read on to find out how you can help.
Volunteer in our offices:
- Volunteering in our clinic requires only a minimal time commitment – just two days per year!
- Dentists: You may bring your own assistant or we will supply one for you.
- Dentists will be granted autonomy to define or modify the treatment plans of their patients as they see fit.
- Because we are a nonprofit organization, we can grant you sovereign immunity, meaning you are protected from any malpractice suits that might come as a result of your work in the clinic.
- Specialists: You can accept cases on a limited scale to perform in your own offices.
- Our Virtual Clinic provides a way to continue to see the number of patients in need of our services, while letting doctors volunteer in their own offices, at their own schedules.
- Participating doctors agree to see one or more patients per year
- Patients are pre-screened for financial need by Gulf Coast Dental Outreach, pay administrative fees to us, and arrive at your office for treatment
- You oversee and provide treatment from initial examination through to the end of treatment
- Continue to remain eligible for Sovereign Immunity
- Gulf Coast Dental Outreach will pay for all lab work you prescribe through labs with which we have agreements
