Signature Series*
Presenter: Dr. Ben Bernstein, Performance Psychologist, Consultant to the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry, and Speaker in the ADA Seminar Series
CE CREDITS: 6
The 2006 ADEA Signature Series program, in collaboration with the ADEA Leadership Institute, will focus on "Reducing the Stress of Leadership." Leaders in academic dentistry are constantly challenged by stressors coming simultaneously from numerous sources: university demands; inter- and intradepartmental priorities and politics; multiple roles relating to students (being teachers, role models, and mentors); funding for and attention to personal research and clinical practice; and balancing all of this with the needs of home and family. Understanding the relationship between stress and performance is vital for leaders in dental education, not only because they are dealing personally with all of the stressors cited above on a daily basis, but because they are preparing students to enter a field characterized by high stress/high performance work. Dentistry requires sustaining an extraordinary level of presence, but the stresses of training and practice take their toll on body, mind, and spirit. This program will examine the multiple stressors facing leaders in academic dentistry and will provide a proactive model for enhancing leadership performance by reducing stress. Through an interactive format, participants will explore stress-related vignettes drawn from real-life situations in dental education, while learning an effective system of stress reduction. See page 45 for more details.

AADR/ADEA Joint Opening Plenary Session. Distinguished Lecture Series: True Success in Times of Change
Presenter: Dr. Tom Morris, Morris Institute for Human Values
In challenging and uncertain times, people need ideas they can trust: ideas that have stood the test of time and that can help us achieve success in even the most demanding situations. From Plato and Aristotle to the present day, the wisest people who have ever thought about success and excellence have left us bits and pieces of powerful advice for attaining true success in our work and our lives in even the most turbulent of times. Dr. Morris has put all these important insights together as a simple, complete framework of seven universal conditions for achieving deeply satisfying, sustainable excellence in all that we do. These conditions of success have never been more important that they are today. In a high-energy, entertaining session, he will reveal some of the most fundamental ethical roots of personal and institutional greatness that far too often are overlooked and that together give us our most reliable basis for moving forward. This talk will leave participants with wind in their sails and ideas they can use.

AADR/ADEA Joint Symposium. How Drug-Induced Oral Diseases Affect Health and Well-Being: Why Evidence-Based Research Must Continue
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Nancy Williams, University of Tennessee
CE CREDITS: 1.5
This symposium will discuss the effects of medications, tobacco and alcohol, and illicit drug use on oral health. The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Oral Health (2003) recognized the fact that the mouth reflects general health and well-being and that oral diseases and conditions are associated with other health problems. As scientific evidence continues to mount relating side effects of medication to oral health and negative health consequences of tobacco and alcohol use upon the oral cavity, the need for evidence-based research related to illicit drug use is essential. The purpose of this symposium is to help participants achieve a better understanding of how both legal and illicit drugs affect oral health and, in turn, how drug-induced oral diseases affect health and well-being. The symposium is appropriate for researchers at all levels.

AADR/ADEA Joint Symposium. Publications Practices and Data Sharing
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Jeremy Mao, University of Illinois at Chicago
CE CREDITS: 1.5
In this symposium on a timely issue of publication and data-sharing ethics, strategies for coping with mandatory disclosure of publications per NIH policy will be discussed. The complexity of behavioral and biomedical research at the present time is frequently beyond the expertise of individual investigators or dental educators/administrators. The electronic age offers the unprecedented convenience of data sharing, yet raises new challenges of compliance with research ethics. This symposium is aimed at dental educators, administrators, behavioral science investigators, and biomedical science investigators. An in-depth panel discussion will take place among several internationally renowned speakers who have, in their successful careers as biomedical scientists, behavioral scientists, educators, editors, and administrators, managed complex issues related to publication and data-sharing ethics. Audience participation will be encouraged. The following subjects are planned to be covered: publication issues in dentistry; data sharing: challenges in the electronic age and ethics; publication integrity; and publication issues related to clinical trials.

AADR/ADEA Joint Symposium. Models for Integration of Research and Scholarship Within the Dental Curriculum
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Anthony Iacopino, Marquette University
CE CREDITS: 1.5
This symposium offers a case-based discussion of educational models that integrate research and scholarship into the undergraduate dental curriculum within three distinct institutional environments (research intensive, research non-intensive, and between). The objectives are to present and discuss various approaches to integration based on available resources/infrastructure, desired graduate profile, and institutional mission. Important issues to be addressed include institutional culture, faculty development/participation, funding mechanisms, flexible curricula, didactic content, mentored research/scholarly experiences, assessment, and required vs. elective activities. This joint symposium provides a unique forum for AADR and ADEA members to collaborate on a critical issue impacting the future of dental education and the pipeline for academicians/researchers. Thus, it truly embodies the theme for this important joint meeting on "Education and Research Together." Educators and researchers must work together to create educational environments that attach value to research/scholarship, apply new advances/technologies to patient care, and produce graduates who are either evidence-based consumers of research or motivated to choose academic/ research careers. Presentation and discussion of integrative models that have been implemented and assessed, representing a broad spectrum of institutional environments, will provide an opportunity for attendees to adapt approaches to their own institutions

Principal Coordinator: Dr. Mary R. Sudzina, University of Dayton
CE CREDITS: 1.5
The purpose of this lunch and learn is threefold: to provide faculty who are teaching with case studies the opportunity to exchange cases, thus expanding the number to which they have access; to enable participants to share information about their case applications; and to facilitate networking among case users. Participants are asked to bring 12 copies of an original case to share and to prepare a five-minute overview of how they use their case in the dental curriculum.
12:15–2 p.m.
ADEA Lunch and Learn #3. Developing a Multidisciplinary Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in Dentistry*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Shilpa Kolhatkar, University of Detroit Mercy
CE CREDITS: 1.5
The OSCE is valuable for assessing the clinical competence of dental students. University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) faculty have developed a multidisciplinary OSCE that tests the student’s ability to apply basic knowledge to diagnostic, treatment planning, and communication skills. UDM has successfully implemented this exam for two years. In this lunch and learn we will share our experience in developing the OSCE. Participants will be given an outline of the strategic plan and will discuss how to apply the OSCE in various dental settings and avoid critical mistakes.
12:15–2 p.m.
ADEA Lunch and Learn #6. How Does a Website Influence an Applicant’s Decision to Apply?*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Heiko Spallek, University of Pittsburgh
CE CREDITS: 1.5
After a substantial upgrade of the University of Pittsburgh’s dental school website, we evaluated its degree of effectiveness in attracting applicants. To do so, we surveyed the 2004 applicants in an effort to better understand how and when our website was used during the application process. The discussion in this lunch and learn will focus on what kind of information is perceived as useful by dental school applicants and how school administrators can determine the amount of effort they should contribute to their schools’ websites.
12:15–2 p.m.
ADEA Lunch and Learn #7. Horizontal Integration of D2 Didactic, Sim Lab, and Clinic Qualifier Courses*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Robert F. Hirsch, University of Minnesota
CE CREDITS: 1.5
One of the challenges facing dental education is integrating knowledge from one course to another and demonstrating its relevance to the clinic learning environment. A case-based didactic course in treatment planning was linked to a sim lab restorative course that utilized the case for competency exams used as a qualifier for students to move into the comprehensive care clinic program. Discussion in this lunch and learn will center around the linking of the courses and the aid to clinic transition.
12:15–2 p.m.
ADEA Lunch and Learn #11. Look Who’s Coming to Dentistry: Cultural Competency Education at Ohio State*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Michael L. Rowland, The Ohio State University
Additional Presenters: Dr. Canise Bean, Dr. Paul Casamassimo, The Ohio State University
CE CREDITS: 1.5
What are dental students’ expectations of a cultural competency course? The answer to this question and more will be the focus of this lunch and learn. We will share information about the implementation and development of a cultural competency course for first-year dental students. This interactive program will highlight educational strategies used, student projects, and expectations of the course directors; however, the highlight will be the students’ response to the course.

ADEA Symposium. Community-Based Dental Education: The Key to Successful Programs
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Monty MacNeil, University of Connecticut
Other Presenters: Dr. Donna Grant-Mills, Howard University; Dr. Cynthia Hodge, University of Connecticut; Dr. Steven M. Lepowsky, University of Connecticut; Dr. R. Ivan Lugo, Temple University; Dr. Ana Karina Mascarenhas, Boston University; Dr. Leo E. Rouse, Howard University; Dr. Ronald P. Strauss, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Dr. Sheila Strorer, Marquette University
CE CREDITS: 2
The concept of augmenting the traditional educational experience of dental students and residents by the inclusion of community-based practice and learning opportunities has gained momentum nationally. Evidence suggests that well-run community programs can have a significant positive impact on improving the knowledge, skills, and self-confidence of students and residents, providing care to populations with unmet dental needs, and increasing net revenues for schools.
The objective of this symposium is to share the experiences, both positive and negative, of several schools engaged in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Pipeline, Profession, and Practice initiative in implementing community-based education programs. Three key components of success will be addressed: 1) partnering with community clinics and private practices, including affiliation and financial agreements; 2) evaluation of student/resident learning; and 3) creation of a solid management infrastructure to ensure the academic, clinical, and financial success of programs. For each component, presenters from two schools with different models or perspectives will provide an overview of issues deemed as critical and their corresponding approaches to these issues. A panel of reactors will respond in counterpoint to each presentation while also soliciting audience participation. An overall aim is to identify best practices in program design and management with an emphasis on effective integration and acceptance of community-based programs within the traditional intramural environment. This program will be of interest to schools currently engaged in community-based programs and especially those considering, designing, beginning, or expanding such programs.

ADEA Symposium. Core Curricula in Advanced Education Programs in Dentistry: What Is the Best Model?
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Gerald Glickman, Baylor College of Dentistry
Other Presenters: Dr. James Q. Swift, University of Minnesota; Dr. Catherine A. Horan, Commission on Dental Accreditation, American Dental Association; Dr. Anthony M. Iacopino, Marquette University
CE CREDITS: 2
To the best of our knowledge, no overview has ever been done presenting evidence beyond the anecdotal regarding the definition/delivery of core curricula in advanced education programs in dentistry. These curricula are expected to prepare residents for advanced training in required areas of biomedical and applied sciences that are common, discipline-specific, relative, interdisciplinary, medically associative, and adjunctive. The first objective of this symposium will be to provide the background, philosophy, and problems associated with such curricula. If the assumption that advanced education programs in dentistry design their core curricula in accordance with accreditation standards, then an overview of accreditation standards in 11 disciplines (two general dentistry areas plus nine recognized specialty areas) would be instructive in the definition and delivery of such curricula. Terminology defining levels of knowledge and skills are not universally applied and, when they are applied, not always consistently. Frequency of citings of noncompliance in areas of standards related to the biomedical and applied sciences would identify areas where programs have had difficulty at the site visit; these will be presented as the second objective. In addition, there appears to be a wide variation as to how the core curricula are administered and taught from school to school. Questions such as what is truly taught, how material is delivered, what models are best, why residents tend to abhor core courses, and how outcomes are measured will be addressed through a comprehensive survey to school administrators. Finally the program will present a new comprehensive core curriculum that was designed at Marquette University that is user-friendly, flexible, and meets specific programmatic/accreditation needs for each graduate program.

FDW #1. Academic Coaching and Its Application to One-on-One Teaching, Mentoring, and Leadership*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Judith Skelton, University of Kentucky
Other Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, University of Kentucky
Workshop Category: Intermediate
CE CREDITS: 3
Coaching is defined as an ongoing, proactive partnership focused on increased learning and improved performance by providing structure, support, and feedback. The application of coaching concepts to academic settings has the potential to stimulate and motivate students toward higher scholastic goals. As coaches, faculty must realize that all students enter our colleges with cognitive profiles that are balance sheets of individual strengths and weaknesses. Some students, for example, have strengths that make them high achievers in the biological sciences but weak in clinical areas. In order to successfully coach students, faculty must be able to accurately identify students’ strengths and weaknesses, examine the impact of their behavior on their performance, and regularly and intentionally provide guidance and/or a plan toward improved performance. In addition, coaching skills are strongly linked to mentoring and leadership skills that all faculty should have in their skill toolbox. The goal of this workshop is to introduce faculty to the concepts and tools of academic coaching and its application to one-on-one teaching.
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to identify the skills necessary for effective academic coaching, identify areas where coaching skills may be incorporated into daily activities, recognize, more fully, their own roles and responsibilities as a coach, and initiate the development of coaching skills. Characteristics of effective coaches will be presented using brainstorming, case-based, and small group activities supported by mini-lectures.
2–5 p.m.
FDW #2. Creating Effective Classroom Tests*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Patrick C. Hardigan, Nova Southeastern University
Other Presenter: Dr. Stanley R. Cohen, Nova Southeastern University
Workshop Category: Beginner
CE CREDITS: 3
All educators involved with student learning must have the ability to construct high-quality tests. To that end, this workshop provides a method to design educational tests. The program concentrates on student outcomes rather than simply process. All presented information is based on "best practice" methodology, using research-based evidence to support the guidelines. We cover different types of exams and provide an atmosphere in which attendees will feel free to share their views and ask questions. The first segment, "Specifying What a Test Measures," focuses on the purpose of classroom testing, general issues involved in developing classroom tests, different types of learning domains, and specific steps one follows when planning classroom tests. Specific emphasis is placed on understanding the cognitive domain, achieving congruence of testing with lecture, and identifying appropriate content domains for a test. The second segment, "Writing Selected Response Tests," begins by introducing rules and suggestions for selected response items and then focuses on three specific types: 1) binary (true/false), 2) matching, and 3) multiple choice—stand alone and stimulus response types. We conduct an interactive session in which attendees are asked to write and present questions that measure the learning objective they wrote in the first segment. The third segment, "Writing Constructed Response Tests," begins with a review of general considerations, guidelines, and suggestions for constructed test items. Next, we focus on short answer and essay type of exams, providing guidelines and suggestions for writing "good" items. We conclude the segment with an exercise in which attendees write a constructed response question that measures their learning objective written in the first segment.
2–5 p.m.
FDW #3. Portfolio Assessment of Student Competency: A Blueprint for Implementation*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Cynthia Gadbury-Amyot, University of Missouri-Kansas City
Other Presenters: Prof. Joanna Asadoorian, University of Manitoba; Prof. Lorie Holt, University of Missouri-Kansas City; Prof. Salme Lavigne, University of Manitoba; Prof. Angelina E. Riccelli, University of Pittsburgh; Prof. Tanya Villalpando Mitchell, University of Missouri-Kansas City
Workshop Category: Beginner
CE CREDITS: 3
The topic of portfolio assessment is both timely and important since all dental educators are required by accreditation, their educational institutions, the public, and other important stakeholders to demonstrate and ensure the competency of their students. In this program, attendees will begin by comparing and contrasting traditional and nontraditional measures of student competency including GPA, National Board scores, clinic grades, clinical licensure examinations, and portfolios and then discussing what the research has shown about both traditional and nontraditional measures of student competency. The speakers will then illustrate how three educational programs in different jurisdictions and in varying stages of development and implementation have utilized portfolio assessment as a nontraditional measure of student competency. Finally, through small group discussion, participants will apply the information provided in the workshop to design a blueprint for how portfolio assessment could be implemented in dental institutions.

ADEA Symposium. Professional Promises: Hopes and Gaps in Access to Care
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Frank Catalanotto, University of Florida
Other Presenters: Dr. Shafik Dharamsi, University of British Columbia; Prof. David T. Ozar, Center for Ethics and Social Justice; Dr. Donald Patthoff, Liaison to ADA and ACD from ASDE, and Editor in Chief, Journal of the Academy of Laser Dentistry; Prof. Pamela Zarkowski, University of Detroit Mercy
CE CREDITS: 2
This symposium is based upon a national workshop held at the American Dental Association headquarters in August 2005. The workshop focused first on the ethics of access to oral health care with a particular emphasis on the professional promises health care professionals make to provide oral health care to the underserved. It then turned to how these promises interact with the themes of social justice and moral responsibilities. The primary goal of that workshop was to gather key stakeholders and engage them in discussions and deliberations on relevant ethical issues and to generate recommendations about how the profession’s Code of Ethics might evolve to better reflect access needs/desires and strategies for solutions in the U.S. In addition, the workshop addressed educational issues: how to better educate dental and allied dental students and committed professionals who are lifelong learners about these issues. The objectives of this symposium are to present a summary of these discussions and recommendations to the ADEA communities of interest. This symposium will be especially relevant and interesting to those ADEA and AADR members who are committed to and/or who work and teach on topics related to access to care, the development of professionalism, and professional ethics.

ADEA Symposium. Students’ Perspective Project
Principal Coordinator: Dr. David Henzi, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Since the Institute of Medicine report in 1995, there has been extensive commentary about the future structure and goals of dental education. Although the structure and goals of dental school have been discussed, there has been minimal effort to determine the opinions and recommendations from the other side of the table: the students who consume the education. Dental students’ qualitative perspective about their educational experience is an essential component of a broad-based curriculum assessment. The goal of the Student Perspectives Project (SPP) was to contribute a representative student perspective about the future of dental education in North America. The SPP project had three objectives: 1) determine student perceptions of the learning environment, intellectual climate, and teacher-student relationships by administering the Dental School Learning Environment Survey (DSLES) to 619 freshman and juniors at eighteen North American dental schools; 2) determine student perceptions of clinical teaching quality by administering the Clinical Education Instructional Quality Questionnaire (ClinEd IQ) to 655 juniors, seniors, and graduate students at twenty-one dental schools; and 3) determine student perceptions of the overall quality of dental education by administering the Curriculum Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (C-SWOT) to 628 sophomores, seniors, and graduate students at twenty dental schools. This symposium will present results from the SPP project and perspectives about findings from dental educators with experience in clinical education (Dr. Robert Trombly, Colorado), basic science education (Dr. Ken Etzel, Pittsburgh) and curriculum planning (Dr. Sandra Andrieu, LSU). The sample of 1902 SPP responses represents one of the largest qualitative assessments of dental education from the students’ perspective.
10 a.m.-noon
ADEA Symposium. Development of an Evidentiary Basis for the Use of Enteral Sedation and Training
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Raymond Dionne, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health
Other Presenters: Dr. Charles Cote, Northwestern University; Dr. John Yagiela, University of California, Los Angeles; Dr. Michael Silverman, Dentists Organization for Conscious Sedation
CE CREDITS: 2
The objective of this symposium is to develop a research agenda to document the relative efficacy and safety of the use of enteral sedation by dentists. Recent public and professional concern over the use of large and incrementally administered doses of benzodiazepines has reawakened the controversy that has continued for decades on the use of anesthesia and sedation by dentists. The dearth of evidence in the form of well-controlled clinical trials or adequate epidemiologic studies has hampered development of a consensus over safe practices, appropriate drugs, and dose recommendations. These issues can be best resolved by development of a research agenda that encompasses pharmacologic studies as well as educational research to determine the components of adequate doctoral training and demonstration of competence. Four speakers will present viewpoints that reflect the dichotomy of opinion that influences training, clinical practice, and safety and regulatory policies: a medical anesthesiologist who has conducted surveys of morbidity and mortality of outpatient sedation; a dental anesthesiologist and educator; an advocate of the safety of incrementally administered benzodiazepines; and a clinical investigator who will discuss the evidentiary basis for current clinical practices. The speakers will describe the educational and clinical research needed to progress the practice of enteral sedation from a largely nonvalidated clinical practice based on patient needs to a safe and evidence-based clinical practice with a generally accepted educational program for predoctoral education. Representatives of groups with alternative viewpoints will be invited to provide commentary on the research agenda and educational components suggested by the speakers. A general discussion period will conclude the session.
10 a.m.-noon
ADEA Symposium. Nutrition and Oral Health in the Aging Aged: Research and Implications for Clinical Dental Education
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Riva Touger-Decker, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
Other Presenters: Dr. Christine Ritche, University of Alabama at Birmingham; Dr. Janet Yellowitz, University of Maryland
CE CREDITS: 2
The elder cohort is the largest growing segment of the U.S. population with an anticipated rise to 1.2 billion (30 percent of the population) by 2025. While elderly adults are retaining their natural teeth longer than in previous centuries, their rising rates of chronic diseases and polypharmacy may negatively impact the integrity of the oral cavity, which can have a significant impact on oral, nutritional, and systemic health as well as the ability to consume an adequate diet. Partial or complete edentulism can affect body weight, diet adequacy, and enjoyment of food. Oral function in the elderly is affected by saliva (quality and quantity), the number of remaining teeth, and occlusal patterns. Occlusion or a compromised occlusion can impact diet quality while edentulism and ill-fitting dentures can result in changes in food choices due to reduced masticatory function and self-induced social isolation. A nutrition risk evaluation combined with the oral exam elicits vital information on the functional status of the oral cavity and individual eating ability. Screening by the dental/dental hygiene student or practitioner will identify oral and nutritional problems and need for diet intervention and/or referral to a registered dietitian.
This symposium will provide an update on aging, nutrition, and oral health and identify the gaps in the research with implications for future research. Current and emerging quality of life research will also be addressed including implications for practice and teaching. Research on nutrition and oral screening in dentistry will be reviewed along with strategies for integrating screening into the dental/dental hygiene school curriculum and in the clinical setting. The two primary goals of this symposium focus on research and education regarding nutrition and oral health in older adults. The first goal is to provide researchers and educators with a review of current research, overview of gaps in the research and implications for future research on this topic. The second goal is to discuss practice and education implications for oral health professionals based on current quantitative and qualitative research in the field. Strategies for integrating nutrition and oral health screening in clinical education will be discussed.

The Recruitment and Retention of American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) Students to Careers in Dentistry
Presenters: Dr. George Blue Spruce, Dr. Kevin Avery, Dr. DezBaa Damon, Dr. Christopher Halliday
At the present time, 0.43 percent of dental students are of AI descent. This number, which has been consistent for the past decade, is insufficient to meet the health needs of the Indian population as determined by Indian Health Service data. In 2004, there were ninety-three Indian dental students in a total enrollment of 17,978. AI/ANs have been included by the USPH and ADEA in the group of students identified as underrepresented minorities (URMs) in dental education, advanced education, dental practice, and dental faculty. Effective strategies for the recruitment of AI/AN students to careers in dental education, research, and practice have not been presented. There is a need to examine the variables that will contribute to effective recruitment strategies for both men and women AI/AN students. This panel will discuss the unique and special considerations to be addressed in the recruitment and retention of students from the various American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives. Included in the discussion will be feeder institutions for AI/AN students; academic preparation; obstacles to recruitment of AI students; financial aid and other resources; mentor relationships; and best practices/strategies learned from other programs that may be applied to AI/AN student recruitment

Principal Coordinator: Dr. Jennifer Brueckner, University of Kentucky
Other Presenters: Dr. Anne Wells, American Dental Education Association; Dr. Stephen Jessee, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston; Dr. Leon Assael, Oregon Health & Science University
CE CREDITS: 2
Each generation enters dental school with different life experiences and expectations. The Millennial generation refers to the student cohort born after 1981 who will graduate from high school in the new millennium. The Millennial generation is the largest in our nation’s history and is of vital interest to both ADEA and AADR members as they enter our dental schools at every level over the next 30 years, representing the future of dental education and research. A solid understanding of their motivations will better equip ADEA and AADR to attract the Millennials into dental education and research. This symposium will provide insight into how the traits of this generation will translate into the Millennials’ expectations of and behaviors throughout their dental education. The objectives are to define the hallmark features of the Millennial generation; describe the Millennials’ expectations of, and needs for, dental education; provide insight into how dental educators may address these expectations; and stimulate discussion on how institutions can prepare for and respond to these students’ needs. Each speaker will provide perspective on the Millennials from a different stage in dental education. Dr. Brueckner will provide an introduction in which audience interaction will be solicited in characterizing how dental students have changed in the recent past. Dr. Wells will discuss this generation’s strengths and challenges from a dental admissions standpoint and describe what dental educators can expect from these students.

FDW #4. Basic Survival Skills for New Faculty: Putting It Together*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Paula O’Neill, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
Workshop Category: Beginner
CE CREDITS: 3
Entry into dental education as a new faculty member can be challenging. Institutions are pushing faculty to build a strong research presence while also expecting them to spend considerable time in didactic and clinical teaching. Too many faculty attempt to build careers by trial and error and wonder how they can ease into their jobs to become productive scholars and clinicians. This trial and error approach to faculty life can blight a promising teaching or research career instead of launching one on a path of continued growth and development. Robert Menges states that "despite strong scholarly preparation, new faculty experience problems and dilemmas in managing competing responsibilities with each other, and getting sufficient feedback in order to celebrate what is going well and what needs to be changed." And yet, faculty are the institution’s most valuable resource. With that premise in mind, the goal of this workshop is to refocus faculty attitudes and preparation for career development.
This interactive workshop will present approaches and strategies to plan for basic survival skills whether one is a new or mid-career faculty. Participants in the workshop will experience interactive lectures, case presentations, and hands-on opportunities for career planning and faculty development. Upon completion of this workshop, the participants should be able to enhance the development of their personal academic career plan using suggestions for achieving academic advancement leading to promotion and/or tenure; discover career-influencing questions to ask of their department chairs; determine strategies for developing mentoring relationships; and become informed about balancing professional and personal life. The workshop will focus on anticipating the hurdles faculty have to jump over to start and maintaining your faculty career such as starting a research program, preparing for teaching, contributing to the service mission of the school, and the professional development required to support one’s quest for promotion and tenure.
2–5 p.m.
FDW #5. Case-Based Teaching: Creating Lifelong Learners*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Philip S. Richards, University of Michigan
Other Presenters: Dr. Marita R. Inglehart, Prof. Christine P. Klausner, University of Michigan
Workshop Category: Intermediate
CE CREDITS: 3
Case-based teaching is widely used to introduce dental and dental hygiene students to the complexities of patient care. The objectives of this workshop are to challenge educators to consider how case-based teaching can be used in the different years of dental and dental hygiene programs and to describe how cases can be used to create patient-centered, culturally sensitive providers who appreciate interdisciplinary interactions and become lifelong learners.
This program is significant due to the Institute of Medicine’s Report on the Future of Dental Education recommendations to educate future health care providers in such a way that they are patient-centered, culturally sensitive, and appreciate interdisciplinary work and lifelong learning. Case-based teaching offers a way to achieve these objectives.
2–5 p.m.
FDW #6. Development and Delivery of Interactive Online Learning*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Linda D. Boyd, Idaho State University
Other Presenters: Ms. Ellen J. Rogo, Ms. Kristen Hamman Calley, Idaho State University
Workshop Category: Beginner
CE CREDITS: 3
This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and abilities to develop a hybrid or online course that stimulates higher levels of learning and critical thinking. This format allows educational programs to expand beyond the primary educational site and offer courses at remote locations to increase access and revenue without expanding existing facilities. Online learning is also an asset to students because of the increased flexibility and accessibility.
The topics to be addressed in this workshop include discussion of the challenges faced by faculty and students in moving a face-to-face course to an online environment. A planning matrix for course development along with samples of the process will be presented. Participants will choose a course and develop a learning module from the course using the planning matrix. The components of the learning module that will be developed include the learning objectives, assignments/activities, and assessment/evaluation that could be used in an online format. After attending this workshop, participants will be able to describe the roles of the learner and instructor in developing an online learning environment that facilitates reflection and critical thinking and to describe and apply best practices in the planning and implementation of an online learning course including the development of learning objectives, assignments, and assessment.
2–5 p.m.
FDW #7. It’s a Tough Job . . . : Effective Participation in Institutional Disciplinary Panels*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Ival McDermott, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
Other Presenters: Dr. Mert Aksu, Prof. Pamela Zarkowski, University of Detroit Mercy
Workshop Category: Intermediate
CE CREDITS: 3
Conducting or participating in an institutional disciplinary panel to adjudicate student ethical violations is an unpleasant, but important responsibility for dental educators. The process and outcome of hearings can have critical consequences not only for the student involved, but also for the institution. Dental faculty who participate as members of the hearing panel must be prepared to evaluate the student behavior(s), determine whether misconduct has occurred, and determine appropriate penalties. These decisions must be made in the context of the institution’s protocol, while supporting professional standards and recognition of an environment marked by increasing risk of legal repercussions.
This workshop will provide dental and allied dental educators an opportunity to critically examine the protocols and procedures of institutional disciplinary hearing panels and to roleplay as either a chairperson or participant of a disciplinary panel in a small-group exercise. Three challenging fictional scenarios will be presented, and participants will be asked to adjudicate and set penalties for each simulated situation. Participants will be observed and feedback provided about the process and outcomes. The goal of this workshop is to provoke thought and supply historical, ethical, and legal perspectives for faculty who participate in disciplinary panels.

Principal Coordinator: Dr. Michael Reed, University of Missouri-Kansas City
Other Presenters: Dr. Harvey C. Eplee, Dr. Ernest G. Glass, Dr. William A. Marse, University of Missouri-Kansas City
CE CREDITS: 2
This symposium will demonstrate the use of an electronic clinic management system (ECMS) as a management tool "data source" in a dental school clinical practice. An ECMS provides a mechanism for monitoring and measuring the efficiency, quality, and outcomes of a complex clinical practice program. The objectives for this program include outlining the complex management challenges of a dental school clinical practice, illustrating the value of an ECMS in developing clinic management strategies, exploring an ECMS as a tool in case management and quality assurance, demonstrating the use of standardized treatment notes in data generation and analysis, and engaging all attendees in questions and answers and development of next steps.
At the University of Missouri-Kansas City, on any half-day, there are over 700 students, patients, faculty, and staff engaged in patient care. An ECMS can include biometric authentication that provides a reliable record of all student, patient, and faculty interactions. A case study involving the use of biometrics will demonstrate how unique management strategies were developed to assess personnel utilization and efficiency. Medical and dental examinations, medications, consultations, and other key oral health conditions are entered into and tracked by an ECMS. These data facilitate treatment planning, constant monitoring, and quality assurance. In tracking these data, a model for assessing patient caries risk assessment will be demonstrated as an example. An electronic patient record allows for standardization of treatment notes while encouraging student clinicians to accurately and legibly document all aspects of care. Cases will demonstrate how prescribed treatment "schemas" allow for standardization and provide creative access to myriad treatment data. The data collected during patient care provide evidence-based information that enhances quality of care, improves efficiency of operation, and warehouses data for clinical research.
