Educational Programming and Meetings |
Lunch and Learn programs offer participants the opportunity to hear focused presentations and hold roundtable discussions on a specific topic. Each table’s discussion is limited to ten participants. The opportunity to join any individual table is on a first-come, first-served basis. Preregistration is required, and a fee, which includes lunch, is assessed.
Note that this list consists of the ADEA Lunch and Learns only; the numbers missing from this list refer to AADR Lunch and Learns, which are listed on page 65.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

CE CREDITS: 1.5
A growing trend for state dental licensure agencies is performing background checks on candidates to evaluate good moral character. Also, many rotation sites for dental and dental hygiene programs are requiring criminal background checks on students before they can participate in the rotation site. This lunch and learn will show examples of dental and dental hygiene programs background check policies and procedures, services that perform the background checks, and disqualifying criminal offenses for licensure and admissions.
16. Enterprise Wide Digital Imaging (PACS) Implementation*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Satishchandra Pai, Columbia University
Additional Presenter: Dr. John Zimmerman, Columbia University
CE CREDITS: 1.5
PACS software is responsible for storage and distribution of digital images. It is integrated with acquisition devices and clinical systems. There has been measured growth of PACS implementation within dentistry. However, PACS is complex and costly to acquire, maintain, and support. This lunch and learn aims to educate people interested in installing a PACS and digital imaging systems users on PACS selection and how to perform technical and clinical acceptance testing to ensure that the system meets expectations.
21. Ins and Outs of Survey Research*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Mary Lynn Froeschle, University of Nebraska
Additional Presenter: Dr. John P. Gobetti, University of Michigan
CE CREDITS: 1.5
Surveys are practical tools for educational and research use. This lunch and learn will discuss strategies for efficiently achieving maximum validity starting with survey development through data presentation. Interactive discussion topics with examples from previously published surveys include use of tested instruments, multi-site IRB approval, paper versus online surveys, distribution, statistical analysis, and questions. Participants will receive time-saving techniques and detailed handouts including references for incorporating research projects into educational workloads.
22. International Service Learning: The Belize Experience*
Principal Coordinator: Mrs. Rebecca Garmon Tabor, Western Kentucky University
Additional Presenter: Ms. Justina S. Kennedy, University of Louisville
CE CREDITS: 1.5
Volunteerism has always played a role in dental education, and many opportunities for students exist. This firsthand knowledge empowers students in a way that changes their lives and changes the lives of others. This lunch and learn will discuss differences between "volunteering" and "service learning" and the impact service learning has on dental education. It will also provide information about a recent international service learning project that consisted of ten interdisciplinary teams in Belize, Central America.
23. Systems for Monitoring and Tracking Incidents to Minimize Risks in the Dental School Setting*
Principal Coordinator: Dr. Katherine Schrubbe, Marquette University
CE CREDITS: 1.5
The management of difficult patients within the dental school is a challenge requiring an organized structure. Systems for monitoring and tracking non-exposure incidents, interactions, and grievances within the dental educational setting are critical to protect the assets of the school and to minimize risks related to patient dissatisfaction that could lead to claims. The session will provide examples of instruments currently used to categorize problems that demonstrate a need for immediate resolution.
26. Practical Applications of Patient-Instructors in Dental Education*
Principal Coordinator: Prof. Julie Ann Wagner, University of Connecticut
Additional Presenter: Dr. Joseph A. D’Ambrosio, University of Connecticut
CE CREDITS: 1.5
There is increasing interest in patient-instructor (PI) teaching because of its usefulness in assessing and enhancing students’ communication skills. However, the use of PI methodology is still uncommon in dental education. During this session, two faculty members involved in PI curriculum will discuss various aspects of dental PI programs, including instructor recruitment, case-writing, grading, and logistical considerations.
