Students back in the dental lab.

Northwest Technical College dental students returned to campus on May 26 to continue their education on campus until June 19 with safety protocols in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the first two weeks, students will work on mannequins with the possibility of working on each other towards the end of each week. During the last two weeks, they will gain experience by spending a majority of the time practicing on each other.

Every student, patient or visitor will be required to wear a mask, maintain social distancing when possible and complete a COVID-19 screen and waiver form upon entry into the lab. They will also be expected to wait in their car and call or text the instructor before entering the college.
