When the semes-

ter comes to a close, we are always look-ing ahead, and planning for the year to come! Join us at Fones as we get in touch with our own “inner student” as we learn to build and enhance our teaching methodologies and share successes and challenges with our col-leagues.

Claire Jeong inv ites us to “refresh” our memo-ries, with an update on an ancient technique for ef-fective and efficient learn-ing. We can then share with our students , who are often overwhelmed

with the amount of infor-mation they are chal-lenged to master in health sciences studies.

Diane Peterson sha res a dynamic online re-source brought to us by Colgate®) which allows educators to “bring” ex-perts to their classroom with lesson-ready materi-als on a myriad of relevant topics.

Jasmin Haley helps us prepare for the evolu-tion of cultural diversity in healthcare and in our profession. She does dou-ble-duty this year, inspir-ing us with her philosophy of work-life balance and success.

Marilyn Goulding Presents her evidence for updating the cur-riculum when teach-ing ultrasonics to Ca-nadian dental hygiene students. How can we also help nurture the “consciously compe-tent” clinical student?

Join us for two days of collegiality with our fellow educators just in time to be in touch w ith some inspiration for the year ahead!

9th Annual Clinical Educator’s Workshop

Teaching In Touch, In Time

in Clinical Education

Spotlight On: Jasmin Haley, RDH, MSDH Create Your Lasting Legacy as an Educator

As educators we

are tasked with preparing the future of our profession.

With the complexities of curriculum develop-ment, academic re-sponsibilities and stu-dent learning out-comes, we are often left overwhelmed or burnt out. How can educators balance their personal, profes-sional, and academic goals? How can you thrive in your profes-

sional career while making a lasting im-pact?

This keynote presenta-tion will support you in creating your pro-fessional legacy.

Jasmin Haley, RDH, MSDH is the founder of Beyond the Prophy® and Co-founder of MOMgienists®. She is the executive producer and creator of the MOMgienists podcast and the highly successful Beyond the Prophy pod-cast.

Looking for ways to

add vital and innova-tive content to your program? Bring internation-

ally recognized speakers into your classroom using the Colgate Dental Educators Network! This dynamic net-work will allow you to enhance your courses with information directly from the experts! Here you will find all the resources you will need to easily en-hance your coursework. Together we will explore the use of the Educators Network with application to classroom teaching and learning. Find innovative ways to “create” an interactive class-room for an enhanced learning experi-ence for your students. Learn about the offerings for professional development in the “Educational Methodologies” section and how to apply all of these resources to the CODA dental hygiene standards.

We are suffering from the stress of be-ing forgetful. We ask stu-dents to memorize drugs, patient names, medication conditions, etc. But rarely, do we teach them how. 99% of the population uses rote memory, a technique based on rep-etition. As you probably already experienced, this is NOT effective.

Let’s change the inefficiency and finally awaken the brain power. We will do so by exploring the special education methodology, called WakeUp Memory™. This tech-nique existed for thousands of years and I modified the proven tool to suit the dental profession. We will start by discovering the fascinating

mechanism of the brain and memory formation. Then, we will apply the WakeUp Memory™ methodology in many areas of teaching – pharmacol-ogy, medical conditions, oral pathol-ogy, etc. to demonstrate its effective-ness. Lastly, we will try some exercis-es to test the methodology.

Claire Jeong, RDH, MS

is an entrepreneur, author, educator, researcher, and international speaker. She is the founder of StudentRDH/SmarterDA –The top dental hygiene and assisting exam prep solutions. Through courses, Claire helped thousands of peo-ple gain valuable dental knowledge and clinical skills. Her courses are motivat-ing, concise, and brilliant. To her audi-ence’s testimony: “Learning is now addi-tive.” Claire is the pioneer of the WakeUp Memory Technique™ that is

internationally adopted by profession-als/educators/students how to use the brain and remember information effi-ciently. Her seminars are enlightening, and the audience becomes glued to their seat. She combines this unique technique to all courses she teaches, to maximize the audience’s learning experience .

ing the opportunity to share our story, our study, our results and how you can do it too, really completes the circle. Together we can produce ultrasonic experts, even on their first day of practice. Please join us for a morning lecture and an after-noon of innovation in dental hy-giene education. Marilyn Goulding, RDH, BSc, MOS is the Manager of Glob-al Clinical Research for Dentsply Sirona Preventive.

dents. She has recently completed a series of studies focused on ultrasonic curriculum and resultant student outcomes in Canadian Dental Hygiene programs. Marilyn has 45 years in clinical practice, dental research and education and is now focused on ex-panding the research connections for Dentsply Sirona Preventive. Her career has been enriched by interaction with the many col-leagues she en-counters on pro-fessional matters in North America and abroad.

Dental professionals

value the role that di-versity contributes to so-ciety. Diversity has evolved and includes more than race and eth-nicity. Many diverse populations are underserved or overlooked. There are a number of popula-tions that have growing evidence of health disparities. Educators must prepare themselves and the future of our profession with ef-fective strategies to provide the best patient-centered care. This course will explore the advances in cultural research and best practices for implementation into the dental hygiene curriculum.

Jasmin Haley, RDH, MSDH is the founder of Beyond the Prophy® and Co-founder of MOMgienists®. She is the execu-tive producer and creator of the MOMgienists podcast and the highly successful Beyond the Prophy podcast.

She serves as an educational con-sultant for the JACQUES Initiative and is part of the Preparing the Future Faculty Champions at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine. Jasmin's proudest career highlight is being in the unique position as a dental hygienist in educating future physicians, den-tist, dental hygienists, lawyers, so-cial workers, pharmacists, and nurses interprofessionally in fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Jasmin helps dental professionals get out of burn out and push past their comfort zone while conquering their passion. She inspires and empowers professionals through her supportive Career Advancement Academy mem-bership community, 1:1 Coaching, and Annual Think Beyond the Prophy Conference. Jasmin was recently na-tionally recognized for her work as a 2018 Sunstar/RDHAward of Distinc-tion recipient.

She is an expert on HIV/AIDS, an advocate for the opioid epidemic, and crusader for cultural sensitivity in the dental industry.

Thorough debridement

is the basis of periodontal treatment and a profound seg-ment of dental hygiene expertise. Stud-ies indicate Canadian dental hygiene graduates use ultrasonics with an out-dated (traditional) approach resulting in an “unconsciously incompetent” clini-cian. As clinical educators we were frustrated and needed to make a change. But without ‘evidence’ to present to our administration we had no proof and thus no basis on which to implement change. Here is our story on getting that proof; our study tested a revised ultrasonic curriculum aimed at producing a more “consciously competent” graduate. What we weren’t prepared for was the unprecedented results and what it would mean to dental hygiene education. Hav-
