Abstract
Dental professions are at a high risk of experiencing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), with estimates indicating that between 60% and 96% of the workplace is impacted. 1 The dental hygiene studies (DHS) program at Pacific University previously included standardized ergonomics education in their curriculum, however these principles were reinforced predominantly through passive techniques (posters and brochures). In 2017, Pacific adopted a plan for ergonomics curricular revision that incorporated the expertise of a faculty member in Pacific’s Physical Therapy (PT) program; this involved introducing the Core Four activity set to incoming DHS student cohorts by a PT who is a Certified Hand Therapist.
