DeFUNIAK SPRINGS — Northwest Florida State College dental assisting students have completed rotations shadowing 50 fourth-year dental students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine at their DeFuniak Springs dental offices.
Under the partnership, 19 NWFSC Dental Assisting program students shadowed LECOM students for two weeks in November. The LECOM students — in their final year of clinical experience with DFS patients — work under licensed dentists' supervision and provide comprehensive, restorative dental care services.
NWFSC students will next assist in different dental offices throughout Northwest Florida.
