 Recently the University of Pikeville's Tanner College of Dental Medicine was awarded the CRET Innovation Center Award. This award will support the establishment of a hub for innovation and advancement in dental education. Students will soon be able to learn in an environment with new dental equipment woven into their curriculum. The goal of the Center for Research and Education and Technology is to integrate innovative dental equipment within the curriculum at the Tanner College of Dental Medicine. So we'll be able to offer students a digital technology curriculum within a state-of-the-art facility. The atmosphere at the Center for Research and Education and Technology will be similar to a private practice, so that particular facility, the Innovation Center, will include a separate reception area, a separate waiting room, as well as separate dental operatories. It'll also have digital dental labs and have state-of-the-art equipment throughout the entire facility. Make your ride one of a kind and see the experts at J&M Custom Auto and Off-Road. It's your customization candy store. Visit jmcustomauto.com and select your make-and-model. It's that easy. Window tenning, remote starts, leather interiors, sound systems, front and rear bumpers, spray and bed liners, bed covers, wheels and tires, lift kits, step rails, even underglow like kits and so much more. If you can dream it, we can do it at J&M Custom. The facility will not only be for dental students, but area dentists as well. Future patients will also benefit from the implementation of new technology available locally. The Center for Research and Education and Technology Center can be utilized by a variety of individuals, including the pre-doctoral dental students at the Tanner College of Dental Medicine, as well as the area dentist. They will benefit because UPiC will be able to host advanced training and continuing education courses for area health care providers. This is going to be a hub for community-based research, as well as an opportunity to provide patients treatment, utilizing the latest dental equipment. So it's a wonderful opportunity for the University of Pikeville to serve the residents of Central Appalachia, as well as the students at UPiC. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
