Education and Leadership Team
Led by Elizabeth Flannery, the Education and Leadership Team provides a platform for current and future oral health professionals to learn about oral health equity by increasing cultural humility, supporting marginalized and minoritized populations, and understanding the needs of historically excluded groups. They develop and implement educational programming, including leadership development training and ADA-CERP recognized continuing dental education. Visit our AIDPH Academy page to see our latest educational offerings.
