Dental Hygiene Students May Enroll in the Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program

Exciting News -- The National Network of Healthcare Hygienists (NNHH) is thrilled to announce a significant update to our enrollment policy for the prestigious Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program. Dental hygiene students are now eligible to enroll in the program, marking a new chapter in our commitment to fostering the next generation of oral health leaders.

About the Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program

The Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program is a groundbreaking, self-paced online course designed to empower dental hygienists with the knowledge and skills to bridge the gap between dentistry and medicine. As the first certificate program of its kind to be accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under the ASTM E2659 standard, it sets a new global benchmark for excellence in oral health education  .

The comprehensive curriculum, taught by 17 of the industry's leading experts, delves into the intricate connections between oral health and systemic wellness. Modules cover a wide range of critical topics, including cardiology, diabetes, oncology, and mental health, preparing you to become a vital member of an interdisciplinary healthcare team  .

Why Should Students Enroll Before Graduation?

For dental hygiene students, this new opportunity offers a significant competitive advantage. By enrolling in the Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program before receiving your license, you can:

• Get a Head Start on Your Career: Begin your professional journey with a deeper understanding of the oral-systemic link, positioning yourself as a forward-thinking and knowledgeable candidate in the job market.
• Boost Your Resume: Differentiate yourself from your peers by demonstrating a proactive commitment to advanced education and a comprehensive approach to patient care.
• Enhance Your Clinical Confidence: Enter the workforce with the confidence and expertise to educate patients, collaborate with medical professionals, and advocate for a whole-body approach to health.
• Integrate Knowledge into Your Studies: Apply the cutting-edge concepts from the program to your final year of coursework and clinical practice, enriching your learning experience and preparing you for the future of dental hygiene.

An Important Note on Earning the Credential CH-OSE

While we are excited to welcome students to the program, it is important to note that a valid dental hygiene license number is required to receive the final certificate of completion and the esteemed Certificate Holder in Oral Systemic Education (CH-OSE) credential. Students can complete the coursework at their own pace, and upon licensure, they can apply for their certificate and officially join the growing network of NNHH-certified professionals.
