Mission StatementTo advance excellence, ethics, professionalism and leadership in dentistry.

Nominate Those Unsung HeroesSOMEONE TOOK THE TIME TO NOMINATE YOU, NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO DO THE SAME FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

The American College of Dentists through our New England Section seeks nominations for Fellowship in the College to recognize colleagues who have ”gone above and beyond” to further the profession. We should recognize those who through teaching, research, dental organization participation, or community service have advanced excellence, professionalism, and leadership. Those are the core principles embodied in the mission statement of the College.

The nomination process is confidential and can be accomplished by e-mail, fax, or by mail. The nominee should be asked for their curriculum vitae without revealing that it is for purpose of Fellowship nomination but rather that they are being nominated for an award. The process is simple as well:

1. Go to the ACD website and log-in to the Members Section. You can then download the nominating forms and the profile summary. You can also view sample completed forms.

2. Contact the candidate to obtain their curriculum vitae.3. Send the profile summary after creating a new document. Please

do not forward the file you have downloaded from the ACD to the candidate directly to avoid violating the ACD confidentiality requirement.

4. Ask a Fellow who is familiar with the candidate to function as a seconder for the nomination.

5. The completion of the forms requires a statement from the nominator which should be seen by the seconder. The statement is a critical part of the process for the committee reviewing the fellowship applications.

6. E-mail, fax, or mail the the nominating and profile statements to the ACD. By your submission of the forms you are affirming that the candidate has not been informed of the nomination.

Nominations should be submitted before 1/15/2020 for induction at the 2020 meeting.

Regent ReportPAULA K. FRIEDMANThe New England Section, under the leadership of Dr. Lonnie Norris, Chair, is proud to announce that 15 newly nominated candidates from the section will be invited to be inducted into Fellowship of the ACD this year at our

Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Each of these dentists has demonstrated outstanding qualities of ethics, professionalism, and leadership. Congratulations to all the new Fellows, and thank you to the current Fellows for helping us to identify individuals for recognition.

On April 26th, 2019, the New England Section sponsored a continuing education program in conjunction with the Eastern Dental Insurance Company (EDIC) on risk management in North Andover, Massachusetts. The course included a discussion of the “anatomy” of a lawsuit and a mock trial with ACD Fellows portraying the key roles along with EDIC --affiliated attorneys serving in the attorney roles. The course was informative, well attended and well received. Planning for additional courses to be sponsored by the NE section on related topics is now underway.

We have an exciting year coming up in 2020! It is the 100th anniversary of the American College of Dentists, which began within the New England Section in Boston. In observance of this occasion, the New England Section is currently planning a special celebration. Stay tuned for more information and a Save the Date announcement. In addition, the National American College of Dentists Board will hold their Spring Board Meeting in Boston to mark the anniversary. We are honored and proud to have initiated this institution for the profession a century ago. We are regarded as the conscience of the profession, a singular distinction.

As your Regent, I will be visiting each of our six Sections in the upcoming year and working with all Sections to advance our Mission to support the profession in ethics, professionalism, excellence and leadership.

Thank you for the privilege of representing Regency 1. With warm regards and in Fellowship,Paula K Friedman, DDS, MSD, MPH, FACD pkf@bu.edu

The Thomas F. Winkler Award was first awarded to Dr. Thomas F. Winkler at the 2007 American College of Dentists New England Section annual meeting at the Yankee Dental Congress in Boston, Massachusetts. The reasoning for the creation of the award was to recognize him for all that he had done over the years to promote the mission of the American College of Dentists through leadership, education, and ethics. Thomas F. Winkler, a mentor, and role-model, served in leadership of the New England Section of the American College of Dentists and as the 2011 President of the American College of Dentists.

Each year the New England Section of the American College of Dentist considers potential nominations and selects the individual that best represents the high standards set by Dr. Thomas F. Winkler, both in professional and private life.

Paula K. Friedman

A Message from our ChairI am honored to have this opportunity to serve as Chair of our New England Section of the American College of Dentists. In addition, I am exceedingly proud of the accomplishments and impact the Board is making to support the mission of the American College of Dentists and to advance the New England Section in promoting professionalism and ethics in dentistry.

An apparent result of the New England Section effort to enhance the understanding and practice of ethics has been in the development of courses in continuing education. For the third year in a row at the Yankee Dental Congress in Boston, Massachusetts, a course in ethics was presented. This 2019 course with maximum attendance, Ethics and Treatment Planning, lead by Dr. Paul Farsi, Dr. Howard HilI and Attorney Catherine Sarkis had very successful evaluations and extremely positive responses to attend a course on this topic again. In addition, an 8 hour continuing education course on Ethics and Risk Management was held on April 26th.

The American College Dentists - New England Section Senior Students Awards were presented by each New England dental school Deans at our annual meeting and awards luncheon. Congratulations to the senior dental student awardees for their leadership, academic excellence, and exceptional commitment to service. Also, sincere appreciation is extended to the SPEA student representatives that attended the Regency 1 Leadership Conference led by Regent Paula K. Freidman to stimulate increased collaboration in sharing experiences for future progress. All the students were very poised, valued ethics, and multi-talented in successfully balancing responsibilities. Based on our interactions with the students, the future of dentistry and of our Fellowships in the American College of Dentists is very promising.

The Thomas F. Winkler Award was presented to Dr David C. Frost for his leadership and dedication to our profession and to the New England Section. This was a well deserved recognition. Our Board welcomes nominations to be considered for this award in the coming years.

It is a pleasure to see our New England Section being enhanced in membership with new Fellows recognized for their exceptional leadership and service in a variety of professional pathways. New fellows have great potential for future contributions to our organization and to the profession. We invite them to make a commitment to active participation and involvement.

The College was founded August 20, 1920 at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston to elevate the standards of dentistry, to encourage graduate study, and to grant Fellowship to those who have done meritorious work”. An Ambassador Program is being initiated to identify highly qualified dentists annually in our New England Section to be nominated for the College. Our Board encourages all membership to nominate well deserved colleagues for Fellowship. Nominations submitted now until January 15, 2020 will be considered for induction at the October 14-15, 2020 Annual Meeting and Convocation in Orlando, Florida. Let’s make the Centennial Anniversary the best year ever for our American College of Dentists.

Warmest regards for a healthy and enjoyable summer! Lonnie H. Norris, DMD, MPH Chair, New England Section, American College of Dentists

2019 Senior Student Awards

One of the highlights of the ACD New England Section Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon is the presentation of a Senior Dental Student Award for each of the five New England Schools. These students, chosen by their respective Deans, demonstrated outstanding achievements in academ-ics, leadership, and initiative. We congratulate them and wish them well as they enter our profession.

On Friday April 26th, 2019 the New England Section of the American College of Dentists presented an outstanding full day continuing education program titled “Ethics and Risk Management”. This unique course was developed into two separate clinical and ethical/ legal components. The morning session involved a 2 ½ hour presentation of 10 clinical cases by NE ACD Board member and Past-Chair Howard Hill, DDS and Ms. Catherine Frankl-Sarkis JD, MBA , which involved a variety of poor treatment outcomes which were mitigated by intervention and subsequent treatment rendered. Ms. Frankl-Sarkis provided the ethical points of interest in each of the individual cases.

Later in the morning, Mr. John Bagley ,a partner in the Morrison Mahoney law firm, and Mr. Joseph Regan, a partner in the Regan Kiely law firm ,provided a one-hour presentation on the “Anatomy of a Law Suit” describing the processes by which a law suit is developed.

After lunch these same two attorneys provided the framework for a dental malpractice mock trial case with other NE Section ACD Board members, local ACD Fellows, and EDIC staff playing the roles of the plaintiff, plaintiff’s expert witnesses, defendant, and defendant expert witnesses. Ms. Frankl-Sarkis played the role of the mock trial judge. This lively 3 ½ hour presentation culminated in a jury verdict for the mock trial where the course participants served as the jury for the case. Many thanks and recognition to Eastern Dentists Insurance Company (EDIC) for their co-sponsorship of our program and for providing the case information and the attorneys as well as Ms. Maureen Smith, EDIC staff member and mock trial actor for this course.

Almost 70 dentists registered for the course and the overall enthusiasm, discourse, and participation for this event demonstrated interest for the NE Section of ACD to continue to organize and present courses with this model of clinical and ethical/legal presentations in the future. Stay tuned for future announcements for our programs!
