The ODEFA Mentoring Program Committee is introducing some new ideas this year.  We hope you will find these options useful. Share the information with your co-workers and employers!

Shadowing

We have contacted a few dentists who are willing to allow an EFDA to shadow another EFDA in their office during practice hours. Although any EFDA may take advantage of the opportunity, this concept is geared toward benefiting the EFDA who is re-entering the restorative aspect of dentistry after being out of the field for awhile.  It is our goal to have offices in all areas of Ohio where the dentist is open to shadowing.

*Please talk with your employer about possibly offering shadowing and contact your local component Trustee or the ODEFA President  for more information.

Refresher Courses for EFDA's

We are currently working with the OSDB and EFDA  Program Directors throughout Ohio to offer refresher courses for EFDA's. The ODA is planning to offer a course at Annual Session in Columbus possibly in 2008.  We will keep you informed!

Mentoring Options for Dentists and Graduating Dental Students

ODEFA is offering  guidance to any dentist who is interested in implementing the utilization of an EFDA  in their practice or improving efficiency if currently utilizing an EFDA.

Board Members or Advisory Board Members are willing to speak with any practicing dentist or graduating dental student on the benefits of utilizing an EFDA.

*Contact your local component Trustee or the ODEFA President for more information.

"The Composite" - A New  Feature in our Newsletter
ODEFA is interested in learning more about Ohio's EFDA's!  We want to share ideas on what materials, techniques and instruments are preferred by EFDA's in all areas of the state. If you would like to share your knowledge and expertise with colleagues, please fill out the questionnaire in the Newsletter or on this website (click here) and e-mail to 2thfxxr32@gmail.com, or mail to ODEFA President, Cindy Stahl at 3180 Port Clinton Rd, Fremont, Ohio  43420. You may choose to remain anonymous, if you wish. It's simple! It's fun! It's all about YOU!

*Contact your local component Trustee or the ODEFA President for more information.

You will find contact information for all current Board Members on the back of each Issue of  "The Expanded" Newsletter or on the website. Click on Contact Directory
