Congratulations to this year's award recipients: • Student Affairs Most Valuable Partner Award: Dr.

In honor of school starting in just one week, meet our DMS Club President, Fernanda Inzunza! 🩺💙 - Hi everyone! My name is Fernanda Inzunza, and I’m a second-year DMS student from Lakeview, Oregon. why did you choose DMS? I’ve always wanted to work in healthcare since I was little. DMS stood out to me because it combines patient care which was impotent to me and hands on technical skills while still allowing me to build meaningful connections with my patients. - What’s your favorite part of the program? My favorite is getting to know my classmates and watching them grow as sonographers.

We were honored to welcome Dr. Nathan Selden to Oregon Tech on Tuesday as our Convocation keynote speaker!

Tuition rarely stretches this far without sacrificing quality somewhere along the way. One university in Oregon manages to avoid that tradeoff entirely.

Thirteen students and two instructors from the Oregon Tech Dental Hygiene program at Chemeketa Community College traveled to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, in August to provide free dental care and oral health services to residents in the community. The trip was part of the International Externship Program, which offers students the opportunity to apply their skills in an international setting while serving communities with limited access to dental care. The Salem team was joined by 14 Dental Hygiene students and faculty from Oregon Tech’s Klamath Falls campus.

Oregon Tech Dental Hygiene students from our Salem program recently returned from a service-learning experience in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Alongside fellow Dental Hygiene students from Klamath Falls, 13 Salem students and their instructors spent a week providing free dental care and oral health services to community members with limited access to care.
