ADA, ISDS, CDS Leaders Visit UIC College of Dentistry
University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry administrators led by Dean Clark Stanford met with leadership of the American Dental Association (ADA), Illinois State Dental Society (ISDS), and Chicago Dental Society (CDS) at the College on Feb. 3 to identify how the College and those organizations could better work together to help students succeed and be better dentists.
The College welcomed dignitaries from the American Dental Association, Chicago Dental Society, and Illinois State Dental Society to the College in February. Pictured along with the College’s Dr. Darryl Pendleton, Dr. Lyndon Cooper, and Dean Clark Stanford are Dr. Terri Tiersky of the CDS, Dr. Barbara Mousel of the ISDS, and Dr. Carol Summerhays of the ADA.
The group worked on identifying what College faculty and students needed from those organizations to succeed, and identified opportunities for collaboration.
