MPH graduate Leo Achembong from Cameroon had this thesis published in Human Resources for Health. Authors: Achembong Leo Ndiangang, Ashu Agbor Michael, Hagopian Amy, Downer Ann, Barnhart Scott. Human Resources for Health.2012, 10:46.
"We reviewed Cameroon's experience with deploying a mid-level cadre of oral health professionals and the feasibility of establishing a more formal and predictable role for these health workers. We anticipate that a task-shifting approach in the provision of dental care will significantly improve the uneven distribution of oral health services particularly in the rural areas of Cameroon, which is currently served by only 3% of the total number of dentists."
Leo is now doing a residency in dental public health with the North Carolina Oral Health Section in Raleigh.
