Approximately 55 students attended. Dr. Janel Marcelino was the speaker for the program. She covered PDA resources, programs and opportunities available to students. She spoke with students individually after her presentation. This lunch was part of the NDC’s initiative to host special lunches for the third-year class at each Pennsylvania Dental School. The committee agreed to host the lunches at the beginning of the summer session for the classes of 2018 (07/16NDCDA1).Student and New Dentist Program Idea DiscussionThe NDC discussed a new program idea, brought to the committee by Dr. Bilal Sajid. Dr. Sajid suggested the NDC host an interviewing and CV prep program for dental students and new dentists. He suggested that the program highlight CV tips, like including photos to showcase your work. The committee agreed to pursue this new program in 2017 (07/16NDCDA2). Committee members shared the following ideas for the formatting of the program:Schedule a CV and interviewing speakerHave time to eat and mingle before the speaker beginsInvite new dentists who have been through a job search or have worked at multiple jobs to speak about their experienceInvite experienced dentists from private and large group practices to share insight into the hiring processPromote PDA Placement Service, Connections mentoring program and involvement in district and local societiesConsider inviting fourth-year dental students if the budget allowsThe committee agreed to pilot this event in Pittsburgh in March of 2017 (07/16NDCDA3).New Dentist ReceptionsCommittee members discussed the Third District new dentist reception, scheduled for Thursday, November 3, 2016. Staff will contact Dr. Mary Grace Rizzo-Fryzel for location suggestions (07/16NDCDA4). The NDC also requested that staff track nonmember conversion after new dentist receptions for a longer period of time (07/16NDCDA5). Typically, staff tracks the nonmembers who join after the reception up until the next NDC meeting. The committee discussed 2017 new dentist reception locations. They confirmed the 2017 locations will be Fifth District and Ninth District (07/16NDCDA6). Staff was directed to research the possibility of hosting the Fifth District reception in conjunction with the 2017 Pennsylvania’s Dental Meeting and the Ninth District reception in conjunction with the 2017 MOM-n-PA event (07/16NDCDA7).
