"We are committed to improving oral health worldwide by making it easier for educators to learn from each other and share resources and tools," said Dr. Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr., president of IFDEA. "We encourage dental educators to get involved in this growing community by sharing their own content and techniques that would be of interest to colleagues worldwide. Educators and administrators at new dental schools around the world, as well as those involved with long-established schools, are invited to join IFDEA and collaborate at a global level."
