POSITION SUMMARY:

Participates as provider (infants, children, adolescents, adults and geriatric) or consultant for SEARHC (Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium)

 POSITION COMPLEXITIES:

The dental work environment can be both emotionally and physically challenging. The constant pace and frequent contact with apprehensive or uncooperative patients requires an individual that is communicative, patient, organized and efficient. Exposure to potentially caustic chemicals and pathogens necessitates an individual that is exacting in their techniques, careful and safety conscious. Postural demands of chairside assisting require adequate physical condition. One must be flexible in their schedule to accommodate for the occasional need to work into the lunch hours, after work and in emergency situations. One must be willing to accept the long hours, separation from family and stress of float-plane travel that are part & parcel of village field trips.
