Dental Hygiene Educator Program (3 CEU) Saturday, November 15, 2014 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Sponsored by Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The purpose in coming together as dental hygiene educators is to create a yearly forum where there is a free exchange of educational ideas, an opportunity to network, and the opportunity to create and experience support for the valuable work we do in our educational programs developing dental hygienists for the future.

Goals of this program include: . To assist dental hygiene educators to align with the ADHA goals for the profession of dental hygiene to be LEADERS of change in the delivery of oral health care. . To discuss current curriculum goals and evaluate a philosophical commitment to the expansion of dental hygiene education. Graduates will need additional ‘soft skills’ and leadership development education to stay competitive in interdisciplinary healthcare models that will require more than their clinical skills and education. . To provide the opportunity to experience collegiality, the sharing of ideas, and the development of educational methodology skills in specific subject matter. . To support existing dental hygiene programs to seek excellence in the accreditation process by the free exchange of information to meet and exceed standards required by CODA . To promote 100% membership of faculty, both full- and part-time, in ADHA as a way of modeling full participation in the profession for all enrolled dental hygiene students.

Do your dental patients seem resistant or defensive when you provide advice and suggestions about their oral health practices? What is holding you back in changing your own health-related behaviors? Learn about behavior change theory and communication strategies utilizing the concepts of motivational interviewing as you view clinician-patient communication exchanges.

This course will review the diagnosis and management of the more common lesions that may be encountered on oral soft tissue examination.
