  • 2017 ADEA Deans’ Conference
    At the 2017 ADEA Deans’ Conference we will explore the value of engagement, globally, nationally and locally. We will explore the value of global engagement, learning from the perspectives of dental education leaders around the world. At the national level, we will discuss the current political and legislative environments and assess the value of action in responding to the new political environment. And at the local (university) level, we will learn from peers about successful strategies for demonstrating the value of the dental school to the university and about the value of resilience in the face of increasing burnout and stress among students, faculty and administrators. Most importantly, the conference will provide opportunities for peer-to-peer engagement and interaction, and promote the value of peer learning throughout the conference. Learn more

  • Vision 2030: The 2018 ADEA Annual Session & ExhibitionVision 2030: The 2018 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition

Phenomena in technology, health care, demographics and other areas can and will transform dentistry and how we teach. We know they are impacting our world today, but the question is: are we prepared to leverage them for the benefit of our profession, our students and society? The time to plan for 2030 is 2018, and the potential for the future of academic dentistry is limited only by our vision. Learn more
