July 24, 2009 - The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) has named Jane C. Cotter, RDH, MS, of Cedar Hill, Texas, the winner of the DENTSPLY/ADHA Graduate Student Clinicians Program.

The purpose of the DENTSPLY/ADHA Graduate Dental Hygiene Research Program is to promote dental hygiene research by supporting one graduate dental hygiene student from each accredited graduate dental hygiene program offering a Master of Science degree in dental hygiene and related disciplines (as identified by the ADHA) to present his/her research at the 2009 ADHA CLL at Annual Session. This program allows the student clinician an opportunity to compete for awards and recognition. The DENTSPLY/ADHA Graduate Dental Hygiene Research Program consists of a poster presentation where the research or clinical findings are presented in a format that includes a hypothesis, methods and materials, results, discussion and a conclusion.
Cotter received her associate degree in dental hygiene from the University of Texas Health Science Center and earned a Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene from Texas Women’s University in Denton, Texas. She also received her Master of Science in dental hygiene education from Texas A&M Health Science Center, Baylor College of Dentistry.
