hygiene

I am currently in the dental hygiene program at Indiana University NW of Gary, IN, and have to have 65 before graduation. We have to find our own patients. The clinic offers a 50% discount to all college students as well as takes just about any insurance plan. However, I am new to the area and do not know very many people. How can I find patients?

    well i guess family and friends is out, although , what a good way to meet people. I think putting fliers up on the school grounds is a good idea, grocery store billboard, big traffic areas you know like the laundry mat.

    Advertise. You could hand out flyers at your university or display some posters in places where students hang out. I’m sure you’ll have your patients in no time.
