Bulletin of Dental Education

When Dr. Jeanne Sinkford was a child, she didn’t know any women dentists, but knew she wanted a dental career. To honor  her lifelong commitment to ensuring that women and minorities are able to succeed, the ADA Board of Trustees will award Dr. Sinkford the ADA Distinguished Service Award at ADA 2015—America’s Dental Meeting. 

With the opening of its new Center for Oral Health Care and Research, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio has a modern, facility that will enable the school to bring improved multispecialty dental care, education, training and research to South Texas.

Leaders across New Jersey welcomed a new era in higher education July 1, 2013, as the New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act became effective. The Act integrates most of the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey into Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, including University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New Jersey Dental School (UMDNJ).

The dental school is now officially the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. The school’s leadership recommended the new name to reflect that dentistry is a profession founded in biomedical science. The new name more closely aligns with today’s dental education and practice.
