Dr. Greg Griffin, Assistant Professor in the Department of General Dentistry, and Dr. DJ Pannu, Associate Professor in Restorative Sciences, recently attended the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Emerging Leaders Program. The program is designed to provide early-career faculty showing great promise as potential leaders the guidance, insight and skills needed to build an academic career.
Participants engage with senior leaders in dental education and work in peer groups to discuss leadership development and other essential subjects in academic dentistry, and work throughout the year to develop research projects that highlight emerging trends and initiatives. The year-long program culminates with peer group presentations of their research findings during a dedicated session at the ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition.
