“If you want to be busy in your practice, go to rural Iowa!”

- Dr. Maria Fuller, FIND grant recipient

As the aging population of dentists in Iowa retires and communities are unable to find new dentists to take over their practices, more small Iowa communities will lack easy access to oral health care. The Office of Iowa Practice Opportunities (IAPO) at The University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics helps dental students and dentists who are seeking an opportunity to connect with active and potential practice opportunities in Iowa.

Through IAPO, dental students can also schedule sessions with FIND partners who can assist with the FIND & GROW process of establishing a dental practice in Iowa.
