About ADEA’s Division of Communications and Membership
The ADEA Division of Communications and Membership, which includes publications, membership, and marketing, was created in 2005 to better serve the needs of members and position ADEA as “The Voice of Dental Education.” This division was organized to:
- inform and engage faculty, administrators, and students in the opportunities and challenges facing our profession;
- expand participation by members and others in ADEA’s scholarship, networking, and leadership opportunities;
- and engage the entire dental education community in advancing the mission of ADEA.
The division accomplishes these goals in several ways, including:
- managing membership data and responding to member needs; recruiting and retaining members;
- producing publications in print and on the World Wide Web; and
- marketing ADEA and promoting good relations with the media.
Membership
Membership in ADEA offers exceptional opportunities for personal and professional growth and development. Any faculty member, staff member, or student of an ADEA Institutional Member can join ADEA as an Individual Member without charge. ADEA Institutional Members are encouraged to invite their students, faculty, and staff to join ADEA, especially at the start of every school year.
The ADEA Division of Communications and Membership is anxious to provide first class member service and welcomes suggestions and questions from volunteer leaders of ADEA.
Publications and Electronic Media
Monographs, booklets, ADEA Annual Session and other meeting materials, and much of the content on the website are generated and produced in this division. All classified advertising for the JDE, the BDE, and the ADEA website is coordinated by this division as well.
Journal of Dental Education (JDE)
The JDE is a distinguished monthly journal published by ADEA since 1936. It provides coverage of the wide variety of scientific and educational research involved in dental and allied dental education. Widely recognized, it is the premier publication for academic dentistry, covering topics ranging from the impact on oral health research of recent findings in such areas as genetics and the brain, innovative testing methodologies, curriculum reform, and systematic reviews of clinical trials regarding oral, dental, and craniofacial diseases and disorders. The JDE is one of only a few scholarly journals publishing the most important work being done in dental and allied dental education and research today.
The July issue of the JDE features the proceedings of the ADEA Annual Session, a series of exhibits, including the Bylaws, and an index of the year’s ADEA House of Delegates resolutions. This issue is a valuable reference for familiarizing new officers and committee members with the Association and for locating answers to questions and policy matters.
Online access to the journal is free, and members who want to receive the journal in print pay $70 per year for a subscription. Subscriptions for U.S. nonmembers are $140 per year, $165 per year for Canadians, and $190 per year for foreign subscribers. Subscribers may also access the journal online at www.jdentaled.org.
Bulletin of Dental Education Online (BDE)
An online-only publication, the BDE highlights activities and events taking place in member institutions and among individuals. Informative announcements, articles, profiles, and columns report on innovations and opportunities in dental education, pertinent federal legislation and regulations, awards and competitions, grant and funding opportunities, student activities, and individual and institutional members. Announcements, brief articles, statistical trends in dental education, and an extensive classified section are also found in the BDE.
