Mentoring Program Creator Wins Hallmarks of Excellence Award

DR. GUY MINOLI, D.D.S., of New York City is the 2022 NYSDA Hallmarks of Excellence Award winner. Dr. Minoli received his award in June during proceedings of the NYSDA House of Delegates in Saratoga Springs. The award, which is presented by the Council on Membership and Communications, “recognizes outstanding programs that help to enhance the membership experience or encourage the exchange of information among members by putting a ‘public face’ on dentistry within schools, health fairs, libraries and other community programs.” Dr. Minoli was cited for a mentoring lecture program he initiated in 2013.

Dr. Minoli’s lectures are offered to all dental residents in Metropolitan New York. They are hosted by NYCDS and are intended to promote a culture of leadership, professionalism and ethics through mentoring. The program previously received an award from the American College of Dentists.

Dr. Minoli says the program involves “participating residents sharing the lecture with the mentor in an academic setting giving the residents further skills and an appreciation of giving back to their profession. Most mentors maintain and develop a relationship with their mentees that solidifies their involvement in organized dentistry.”

Dr. Minoli provides cosmetic and restorative dentistry at his Manhattan family practice. His patients include those who are medically compromised. A graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Dentistry and the general practice residency program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Cornell University Medical College, Dr. Minoli is attending at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and assistant professor at Cornell Medical College.
