AADR/ADEA ADCFP Career Options in Academic Dentistry Seminar
|
|---|
Wednesday, March 21, 8:30–11:30 a.m.
Facilitators: Dr. Marc Geissberger, University of the Pacific, and 2006 ADCFP Mentors
This seminar is designed to attract dental students interested in academic careers and to provide them with information that will encourage them to pursue careers in dental education. Dental school faculty with experience and expertise in teaching, research/scholarship, and academic administration will provide students with insights about faculty roles and opportunities for career growth in the dental school and health science center environment. The seminar will begin with a plenary session focused on career paths in dental education: rewards and issues. During that session, options for career paths, academic preparation needed, the demand for faculty positions, and the rewards, risks, and issues of each pathway will be discussed. The seminar will then break out into six sessions led by the 2006 ADCFP Mentors. These sessions will cover research, education, service and clinical teaching, the "classic triple threat" (teaching, research, service), academic administration, and part-time teaching (blended practice and clinical teaching). The seminar will end with a group wrap-up of "words of wisdom." All faculty and students are encouraged to attend.

Facilitators: Dr. Charles N. Bertolami, University of California, San Francisco, and 2006 ADCFP Fellows
This seminar will showcase the 2006 ADCFP Fellows and their experiences during their fellowship year. The seminar will begin with a plenary session that will examine:

- dental school graduates’ financial debt, and balancing salary and working environment,
- promotion and tenure process, and
- how to find a position and apply for it.
Additionally, a description of the 2007 ADCFP will be presented, culminating in the introduction of the 2007 ADCFP Fellows and Mentors. The seminar will then break out into six sessions with the 2006 ADCFP Fellows, who will lead discussion about their experiences and lessons learned, including insights about serving in an instructor role, perspectives acquired from their interviews of faculty, perspectives about conducting research in dental school, and surprising aspects of a faculty member’s life.
