NCSL Legislative Video Resource Center

As policymakers across the nation grapple with oral health care access challenges, states have implemented policies to strengthen their oral health workforces. This webinar will explore the challenges states face in providing high-quality oral health care and dive into workforce strategies and how they may be leveraged to reduce geographic and racial health disparities. Speakers will discuss state actions that support the provider infrastructure, expand the oral health workforce through innovative models, and improve access for those in areas with oral health care shortages.

Molecular biologist John Medina, author of the bestseller “Brain Rules,” collaborated with NCSL on a series of three-minute videos exclusively for NCSL members.

“Governing With the Brain in Mind—Brain Rules for Lawmakers” provides insights about leadership, power, stress, humility and more—all through a state legislative lens.
