The HPU Oral Health Network will be a collection of approximately 30 HPU-owned and operated dental practices located in the Triad region of North Carolina. These practices will meet patients where they are at to offer general and specialty oral healthcare services. The Oral Health Network includes three primary hubs located in High Point, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Each hub will include approximately 30 operatories that offer specialty and surgical oral healthcare services. Those hubs will be referral centers for the smaller general practices distributed in the Triad region. The Oral Health Network also includes relationships with academic medical centers, dental laboratories, and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in the Triad region.
All practices are located within a one hour drive from High Point University’s main campus. All residents and fellows are expected to have access to reliable transportation to and from these locations as part of their educational experience. These practices are primarily located in the Triad region of North Carolina, including High Point, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem.
Practice assignments will vary depending on individual interests and availability. The goal is to maximize experiences throughout the curriculum, and we will offer opportunities to switch or prioritize experiences to best accommodate our residents and fellows; however, it is not a guarantee.
