Dealing with Unprofessional Conduct: Collaborative Student and Faculty Response Mechanisms
Moderator: Prof. Pamela Zarkowski, University of Detroit Mercy
Panelists: Dr. Phyllis Beemsterboer, Oregon Health & Science University; Dr. Lawrence P. Garetto, Indiana University; Dr. Shane Christensen, Indiana University; Dr. Marilyn S. Lantz and a dental student, University of Michigan
CE CREDITS: 2
In all academic programs, situations arise in which a lapse of ethical or professional behavior is reported. Who should deal with such cases, and how should they be handled so as to result in a just and equitable outcome for the individuals involved and for the institution as well? In an academic environment, should these be administrative determinations, or should there be a collaborative interaction of students and faculty alike? This program will discuss due process in dealing with accusations of unprofessional behavior and will highlight the procedures used at two dental schools that view professional conduct as a shared responsibility of students and faculty. Student and faculty panelists will present the underlying rationale for their process as well as the specific procedures followed from the point of the initial misconduct report to an ultimate outcome determination. A goal of the program is to highlight perceived strengths and unresolved weaknesses in the described approaches and to invite participants to share other methods being utilized.

Oral Health Service-Learning Opportunities with Head Start Programs
CE CREDITS: 2
Principal Coordinator: Prof. Kathy Geurink, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Presenters: Dr. John Rossetti, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration; Ms. Jane Steffensen, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio; Ms. Katrina Holt, Oral Health Resource Center; Ms. Robin Brocato, Head Start Bureau Head Start and Early Head Start programs provide comprehensive child development for children from birth to age five, pregnant women, and their families. Oral health is an integral component of prevention and health services within Head Start. However, Head Start programs report access to oral health as a number one challenge facing many of their programs. As a result, innovative programs, with funding opportunities, are beginning to develop across the country between Head Start, dental clinicians, and academic dental institutions. This new climate offers a rich opportunity for dental and dental hygiene schools to enhance students’ service learning experiences. The goal of this program is to establish/enhance partnerships between dental schools and dental hygiene programs and Head Start Programs through Head Start Oral Health Service-Learning efforts. The participants will 1) develop an understanding of national oral health initiatives including an Interagency Agreement between HRSA, MCHB, and Head Start Bureau; 2) determine how academic institutions can be involved in state Head Start oral health action plans developed through forums supported by the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD); 3) share community-based models and identify opportunities to integrate access, prevention, and education into a curriculum; and 4) discuss resources and promising practices available to dental educators for Head Start collaborations to improve oral health for children and pregnant women.

Dental educators are responsible for providing future dental professionals with the experience and opportunity to provide oral health care to all populations. This joint program will explore some strategies to enhance our diversity in the context of pre- and postdoctoral education. The impact on the faculty pool and access to oral health care in underserved populations will be addressed. The format will include formal presentations and an interactive panel session with a diverse group of experts.

Future Faculty: Matching Institutional Goals with Faculty Recruitment and Retention
Moderator: Prof. Pamela Zarkowski, University of Detroit Mercy
Panelists: Dr. Charles N. Bertolami, University of California, San Francisco; Dr. Teresa A. Dolan, University of Florida; Dr. John Gallo, Louisiana State University; Dr. Rosie Roldan, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
What contributes to a successful institutional and faculty "fit"? Are there generational issues that affect successful recruitment of junior faculty? Are there gender differences in expectations of junior faculty? Academic leaders attempt to balance institutional needs with university mission while addressing financial and resource challenges. Research, service, and teaching, all integral to college mission, vary in priority from institution to institution. Faculty seek academic careers in an environment that is supportive and collegial and provides opportunities for personal and professional growth. This forum will provide perspectives and suggestions to assist in making successful matches for institutions and faculty. Viewpoints from both sides of faculty recruitment and retention will be shared, with an opportunity for audience input.
Cosponsored by ADEA’s Women’s Affairs Advisory Committee, Minority Affairs Advisory Committee, Women Liaison Officers, and Council of Deans.
