To All AOD Members, Friends, and Browsers

This section has been designed to offer you an opportunity to communicate with AOD members who are on a dental school faculty of who belong to a study club.

Why List Operative Departments?
It is hoped that dentists browsing the site and who are interested in this Academy might be able to find a familiar faculty member to ask for more information about this organization. I'm encouraging all AOD faculty members, part or full time, to send me their name, contact number and affiliated dental school.

Why List Study Clubs?
Study clubs are an excellent adjunct for continuing education. Many of our members are involved in a study club and the aim of this list is to make available someone who can answer questions regarding their particular study club. Clubs can be primarily clinical (hands-on), didactic (lecture) or a combination of both. Focus may be on varying materials or techniques. The RV Tucker Study Club is the club with the largest affiliation here, so some commentary has been added here to clarify its methods and purposes. Other clubs are invited to add a description of their club. The list here is organized by state since location is probably the first factor in selecting a club. I encourage all members who are in study club to contact me in order to be listed. Please send your name, state, club, and contact number.

Both lists have been compiled from a questionnaire at the 2007 AOD Annual Meeting. These lists are just beginning and I encourage all members to let the webmaster know your affiliation and be included appropriately on these lists.
