MIAMI, July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GoTu, a pioneering digital
talent marketplace for the dental industry, has announced its
expansion into the Western US corridor, to help markets that are
suffering from a critical shortage of dental professionals. As of
July 15, GoTu is available in
California and has strengthened
its presence in Arizona,
Nevada, Colorado and Utah. The digital marketplace will expand to
Washington and Oregon this fall.
This expansion highlights the urgent need for reliable dental
professionals amid an ongoing shortage of registered dental
hygienists. According to Becker's Dental + DSO Review, California has 517 dental professional
shortage areas. The data also found that the U.S. needs nearly
10,000 dental professionals to curtail the shortage.
"GoTu's expansion into the Western U.S. corridor represents our
commitment to solving the dental staffing crisis," said
Cary Gahm, co-founder and co-CEO of
GoTu. "Our innovative platform ensures communities receive the
dental care they need by connecting practices with top-tier
professionals."
According to Ed Thomas, GoTu
co-founder and co-CEO, the company is uniquely positioned to
address this challenge with its innovative platform, connecting
dental offices with highly skilled professionals and ensuring
communities receive the dental care they need.
"Our mission is to provide an immediate solution to the dental
staffing crisis by creating immediate communication between dental
offices in need and professionals seeking shifts," said Thomas. "As
our platform evolves, we recognize the growing demand to serve
areas of need."
Founded in 2019 to address the dental industry's chronic
staffing crisis, the platform has connected more than 25,000 dental
offices with over 45,000 dental professionals. GoTu continues to
advocate for creative solutions to the staffing crisis. Most
recently, the company launched a transformative scholarship aimed
at advancing diversity and excellence in dentistry.
