Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the University of British Columbia Geriatric Dentistry Program: Clinical education and service.

Background And Objective: In Canada, the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with significant morbidity and mortality in older adults, particularly those in long-term care (LTC). Access to oral health services was limited during the pandemic due to public health restrictions. The aim of this paper was to describe the impact of the pandemic on the clinical education and service of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Geriatric Dentistry Program (GDP), which provides care to LTC residents.
