The South Carolina Digital State Documents Depository provides access to publications produced by state agencies and state-supported academic institutions. These publications provide citizens with crucial information about state government, including statistics, annual accountability reports, and data on a wide variety of topics related to the state. The June 2018 South Carolina State Documents publication provides a description, author, and link to the full-text for each new agency document.
This month we highlight 2 publications about the dental workforce in the state from the South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium, Office for Healthcare Workforce Analysis and Planning.
