Let's be honest, CHIPS does seem a little spooky. We sometimes have unexplained things happen around the building; blinds opening and closing, leaks from the ceiling, and lumps in the floor. It makes us wonder if CHIPS may actually be haunted. 👻

October is National Dental Hygiene Month. We enjoy partnering with the faculty in the Dental Hygiene program at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry to provide blood pressure assessment events, high-fidelity manikin simulations, small group simulated patient encounters, and 1 to 1 motivational interviewing patient encounters! We hope these experiences make the learners feel better prepared to provide excellent patient care! 🦷🪥
