The 2022 New Dentist Forum Kickoff

Sabrina Wadood, DDS New Dentist Forum Co-Chairperson, Wyoming

This past summer, we kicked off the new season for the WMDDS New Dentist Forum with its new chairs, Dr. Jeffrey Heinz and Dr. Sabrina Wadood. They planned the annual New Dentist Forum social, which occurred on August 19 at Founder’s, and it started the season off with a bang. This year, the event was held on a Friday, which is a departure from our usual Thursday evening meetings. Even though it was a Friday, the event had a stellar turnout of upwards of 45 attendees. The attendees included new graduates, young dentists new to the area, and specialists.

The New Dentist Forum calendar year kicks off with a social event every August. Following the kickoff, there are four CE events with local speakers and sponsors throughout the year. This year, the Forum will host CE events in September, November, January, and March. The New Dentist Forum events are open to any members of the WMDDS (and thus the MDA) who are aged 40 years and younger or have been out of school ten years or less. Stay tuned for announcements and photos from the September and November events in the Holiday 2022 Bulletin! “I think having the social event on a Friday evening instead of Thursday allowed more people to attend and have a good time, meet other people, and enjoy the evening more so than if it were on a weeknight. We had a lot of new faces and I think everyone had fun. All of our CE events will still be on Thursday evenings going forward, though.”
