Your Partners in Health Professions Program Development & Accreditation
Our Experts
Many of our experts are current or former deans and senior administrators at leading health professions schools. Many also serve as accreditation site visitors or have held senior roles within accrediting bodies, including the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Our team has led national professional organizations such as the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry. One is President Elect of the American Association of Women in Dentistry. Others have served on national advisory panels, and held leadership roles on state dental boards.
Across their careers, our experts have helped found and strengthen dental schools, research centers, student services programs, and one of the nation’s largest federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).
