President’s MessageI can hardly believe it has been 11 months since our last Symposium in Washington, D.C. and the start of my year as President of the Academy for Sports Dentistry. We have accomplished so much during this exciting time and we could not have done this without your help. Membership is thriving, we have solidified our wonderful support team and built invaluable affiliations with numerous other dental organizations including the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Academy for General Dentistry (AGD). At our core, the ASD is about learning, teaching, relationships and providing the best care available. Nothing encompasses this more than our annual symposium. For those not already registered, I would like to invite you to San Diego this June 11-13th to grow, collaborate, engage and have fun. There still is time to join us and hotel rooms are still available. It’s going to be a great meeting with world class speakers and events. In addition to the 11 PACE hours available at the symposium, we have three pre-symposium courses to boost your clinical skills. Start your journey or renew your skills with the Sports Team Dentist Certification program (Build your knowledge by “Bridging the Gap—Optimizing Athletic Performance Through Muscle Physiology” Or, expand your care with our newest offering, “Digital Full-Arch Dentistry” As my term comes to an end, I would like to thank all our members involved in committees, on the board and all our staff for their commitment to the ASD—without you, nothing happens. It has been an honor and privilege to be your president over these past 11 months and I look forward to continued service to this incredible organization. Let me be the first to welcome Dr. Jan Chithalen as ASD’s incoming president, and wish him a great tenure! See you in San Diego! Sincerely
Michael Salyzyn, DDA, FASD |
