Special interests in dentistry: i.e. teaching, a particular discipline, specialty etc.:
General dentist with a special interest in traditional removable prosthetics. I have presented some short lectures on this topic and run a removable prosthetic study club out of my office from time to time. I am a past president of the Alberta Dental Association and College and still sit on a few ADA+C committees. A strong belief that dentists have lost a sense of camaraderie. We must try to get this back to improve the profession.
