DisCouRse & DesseRt: ReCiPe FoR a MoRe inClusive enviRonMentBy Nicole Fauteux

“I joke that I had my midlife crisis when I came out of college,” said Nina Godiwalla, the speaker at Saturday’s Evening Plenary on Gender Issues, familiarly known as Discourse & Dessert. In reality, the bestsell-ing author of Suits: A Woman on Wall Street, spent almost a decade working for Fortune 500 corporations before the cumulative effect of her experiences prompted her to choose a different professional path. Her reflections on her minority status—as a woman, the daughter of immigrants, a Texan and a public university graduate in a world dominated by white, male, Ivy-league alums—resonated with a broad range of people who also felt like outsiders in the workplace, and led to her current career. As founder and CEO of MindWorks, she speaks on diversity issues and provides leadership and stress management training to corporations and other professional organizations.

Ms. Godiwalla shared her story and offered a recipe for creating environments where people feel included.

Step 1. Promote awareness of our biases. We all use shortcuts to make judgments, she said. These can be useful, for example, when we choose a familiar brand while shopping for a new prod-uct, but these can be limiting when it comes to our interactions with new people.

Step 2. Respond to biased remarks or behaviors that undermine others. She said people want to respond, but often they don’t know how. Shifting power, injecting humor and asking questions are three strategies that work.

Step 3. Speak up. If we don’t, she said, unwelcome workforce behaviors will be perpetuated. “It’s up to you and me to make the courageous decision to stand up and speak up,” she concluded.

eDuCation

tRansFoRMinG tHe FutuRe oF Dental HYGiene eDuCationBy Sue Kimner

On Sunday, attendees gathered in the session Transforming Dental Hygiene Education: Recommendations for the Future to learn about the strategic recommendations from a symposium held in September 2013 by the Santa Fe Group, the American Dental Hygienists’ Associa-tion (ADHA), and the ADHA Institute for Oral Health. The symposium examined the dental hygiene educational system through the lens of its history, the current environment and the future health care and oral health care needs of the public.

Three speakers provided a wealth of information about the sympo-sium: Pamela Steinbach, R.N., M.S., and Ann Battrell, M.S.D.H., of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association; and Linda Niessen, D.M.D., M.P.H., M.P.P., of Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine and President of the Santa Fe Group. Key messages from the symposium included:

• Dental hygienists should practice to the full extent of their education and training.

• Dental hygienists need to achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes a seamless academic progression.

• Dental hygienists should be full partners with dentists and other health professionals in becoming a part of the primary health care system in the United States.

Much work has been done since the symposium. The ADHA was awarded a contract by the Health Resources and Services Administra-tion (HRSA) to develop and publish key documents from the sym-posium, which will be available later this year. In addition, ADHA has been contracted by HRSA to write a white paper describing the future needs of the dental hygiene practice. The paper will outline strate-gies that will contribute to the expansion of oral health services to underserved populations and identify the future standards of education and practice. These future standards will include recommendations on potential enhancements to the curriculum to prepare dental hygienists for future practice.

Ms. Battrell closed the session with some food for thought for the participants: “What will the next generation of dental hygienists look like, because they’re in your hands? What role will they play—are you preparing them for any and all roles? What skill sets will they need and how will you change your systems to provide them with those skills? Will a new curriculum be needed if we’re going to be viewed as integrated into the health care system?”

All the speakers agreed that the time to act is now and that the dental hygiene education and practice community are the ones to facilitate change. “If we know we need to change dental hygiene education, we need to be the ones to do it,” says Ms. Steinbach.

Key Takeaways:

• The U.S. health system is transforming. Are we a part of it?

• The role of the dental hygienist will change.

• It’s up to the dental hygiene community to manage the change.

• We need to exercise our leadership—change has to come from the profession.

it’s ouR JoB to sHaKe stuDents oFF tHe PatH oF least ResistanCeBy Sue Kimner

The 2014 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition launched yesterday with the Opening Ceremony with Awards and Plenary Session. Attend-ees filled the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center’s Lila Cockrell Theatre for an awards presentation by the Chair of the ADEA Board of Directors, Stephen K. Young, D.D.S., M.S., and a keynote speech from David Eagleman, Ph.D., researcher and best-selling author of Incognito.

Dr. Eagleman started by providing basic brain facts. The brain con-tains 10 billion neurons, and each individual neuron is as complicated as the city of San Antonio. Almost all of what we do in our daily lives is run by our subconscious brain, and there is a gap between what our conscious mind can access and what the rest of our brain is doing.

The unconscious brain is ruthlessly efficient, which leads to a tendency for the brain to take the path of least resistance in learning. As educators we are good at training students in rote memorization of facts. The most important thing we can do is teach students about cognitive flexibility, which is the opposite of rote learning. We need to shake students off of the path of least resistance and prepare them

for the next decades, where the tools and theories they are using and learning today will change. There are five ways to do this:

1. Promote active learning—get students to engage and experi-ence learning by reading, researching, discussing, etc.

2. Use guided teaching—our job as educators is to spark learning and discovery in our students. Don’t tell them the answer to a question, let them discover it.

3. Set idea quotas—ask students to come up with several solu-tions to a problem instead of just one. This forces them to dig deeper and become more proactive.

4. Enlist all the senses—our brains form associative neural net-works that draw on all the senses. Use as many of the senses as possible in teaching.

5. Create enriched environments—make the classroom environ-ment stimulating and get students curious and engaged about what they are learning.

Dr. Eagleman then discussed the next generation of students and what is different about them. They are “digital natives” and wired to learn differently. By the time they reach graduate school, they have logged thousands of hours online. Today’s digital natives look some-thing up as soon as they need to know it. In many ways this is superior to the previous model of “just in case learning”—they get the answer in the context of the question and are curious, interested and engaged. They are also used to multitasking and processing information at a very fast pace.

Dr. Eagleman concluded by asserting that many educators are digi-tal immigrants and need to catch up with their students. If we continue to give lectures the way we always have, we can’t expect our students to be engaged and learn.

Takeaway points:

• Keep in mind the only solution is for educators to catch up with the current generation of digital learners.

• Educators need to shake students off the path of least resistance in learning.

• The digital brain requires interactive and engaging input.

Following are the ADEA Policy Center educational sessions taking place today.

IMPLEMENTING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT—UPDATE FOR ACADEMIC DENTISTRY 10:30 a.m. – noon HBGCC-Room 211 The Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law by President Obama in March 2010, contains various provisions of interest to academic dentistry. The ACA will have far-reaching implications on academic dentistry and the practice of dentistry, especially since pediatric oral health care is now considered an “essential benefit” under the law. An expert on the ACA will explain the current mandates and delayed provisions, and provide a comprehensive informative update. ADEA has arranged this session so that attendees will receive an overview of the law and detailed information on how dentistry will be affected. There will be an opportunity for questions.

MEDICARE GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION UPDATE 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. HBGCC-Room 213 B ADEA continues to monitor developments surrounding Medicare graduate medical education (GME) issues and to advocate for changes that affect GME reimbursements to dental schools. Join this open session to gain a basic understanding of the Medicare rules governing hospital reimbursement of GME costs and training of dental residents. An expert on dental GME will provide an update on current GME issues and the impact on dental residency programs. Upon completion of the session, attendees will be able to identify key issues to consider when entering into a GME relationship or negotiating a GME agreement. Additionally, attendees will gain an understanding of the current legislative and policy environment surrounding GME funding.
