The RDH New Grad Summit 2026

Feeling nervous and uncertain about entering the workforce and writing your NDHCE?

Thousands of fresh RDH graduates are about to hit the job market. Private practices often prefer experienced hygienists and may undervalue new grads entering the workforce.

That’s why we created the RDH New Grad Summit—to help you build skills, confidence and bridge that gap!

Supporting the next generation of Registered Dental Hygienists

While a lot of other events focus only on board prep, this Summit offers the whole package: Board exam prep + Workplace success strategies + Mentorship and Career opportunities.
