Dr. James C. Broome
Mentors Needed
I'd like to recruit a group of Birmingham area dentists who would be willing to serve as mentors for UAB pre-dental students. We have a very strong (more than 40) pre-dental society and many of them have requested shadowing opportunities and the chance to chat with practicing dentists about their career choice. It's a tough world out there - our entering class GPA was better than 3.8 last year. If you would be willing to provide encouragement and advice for these young people, and allow them to observe you in your practice, please contact me via email. James C. Broome, DDS, MS Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs Professor, Department of Prosthodontics The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry 1919 7th Avenue South SDB 405, Box 48 Birmingham, AL 35294 Office: (205) 975-5483 FAX: (205) 934-4952 jbroome@uab.edu |

At our March meeting we failed to recognize Brad Charles of Patterson Dental. Along with the BDDS donation, Mr. Charles made a matching donation to Dr. Sooudi for his recent mission trip. Thanks to Brad Charles and Patterson Dental!
We recently began a new program of allowing your staff and spouse to attend Monthly CE meetings. The cost is our normal fee of $40. We had a great attendance of staff at our recent meetings. Please feel free to register your staff/spouse by email, check or PayPal.

President's Message - April 2013
"Reflections and Projections"
Since my tenure as your President will be concluding in June, I wish to express that it has been a rewarding experience to represent the BODSand to interact with so many outstanding professionals. In this regard, I would invite your attendance to our May ih dinner/business meeting which will be the last before summer. Our featured speaker will be Dr. John Burgess, who, as always, will have a dynamic presentation with the latest cutting edge information on current restorative materials and techniques.
Other agenda items will be:
* Recognizing the "Dentist of the Year"
* Update from ALDA on the legislative agenda
* Induction of officers for 2013-2014
This year it has been gratifying to see so many students, residents, staff, and spouses/guests attend our meetings. Their presence has added a positive energy and synergy to our professional interactions.
Lastly, I wish to convey my appreciation to our Executive Director, Mr. Richard Morgan for his untiring efforts and especially to the Executive Council for their advice, assistance, and dedicated support throughout the year.
In closing, a paraphrased quotation from Edwin Markham that was a favorite of the late, beloved Professor at the School of Dentistry, Dr. David Greer, seems so apropos as a beacon for the conduct of our professional life.
"There is'a destiny that makes us a" one. No one should go their way alone, for what we instill into the lives of others comes back into our own."
With personal regards,
Milton E. Essig DMD
President, 2012-2013
