A Message from Our President
 CCDS Members, Sorry for the delayed start of the last meeting. We have the bugs worked out now. Fingers crossed. On Feb 6, we will hear from Dave Chandra DMD. He is the Director of the Oral Pathology Biopsy Service at the OHSU School of Dentistry. He teaches pathology to dental residents and students, as well as practices both clinical and surgical oral pathology. He received his DMD and PhD degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, his post-doctoral research training at the University of California, San Francisco, and his oral pathology specialty training at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Dave has authored numerous original research articles and has received NIH funding as both a Principal and Associate Investigator. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. Prior to the meeting, members can attend Dental Action Day on January 30. If you are interested in attending, please register at WSDA.org by January 16th. On Feb 1, we will be participating in our 20th annual Children’s Dental Health Day at Clark College. Dr. Derhalli started CDHD back in 2005 and I am amazed how quickly 20 years have gone by. We are grateful for his vision and effort to create this longstanding project on the behalf of CCDS. So far Drs. Fujioka, Bhui, Hu, Sakun, Rose, Garibov and Derhalli, have all signed up. Please contact me at drpeter@drlubisichvpd.com to sign up. Lastly, the CCDS Executive Committee has already begun scheduling speakers for next year's lecture series. If you have suggestions, please email us at ClarkDentists@gmail.com. We are also looking to find interested members who would like to serve on the Executive Committee. The position of Secretary will be open. The amount of time required is one 45 min Executive Committee meeting a month and to attend the monthly meetings. There is additional time put in organizing and planning, but we have an excellent group who share the tasks, and you will enjoy the comradery. If you are interested, please talk with any of the leadership group and we will be happy to answer your questions further. |
