Robert W. Loney, D.M.D., M.S

The last academic year was one of celebration for both the Department of Dental Clinical Sciences (DCS) and our Faculty of Dentistry. A number of our department members were able to attend the ADEA dental schools in their curriculum, and his web-based Dinner in Orlando in March to see Dalhousie’s Faculty Mock OSCE remains very popular. Our Removable of Dentistry receive the Gies Award for Achievement Prosthodontics website is currently being used by by an Institution. Similarly the Department figured 9 other dental faculties and is ranked as the #1 hit on Google searches for ‘removable prosthodontics’. prominently in the Faculty’s 100th Anniversary working diligently to bring a Dental General Practice Dr. Cynthia Andrews continues her work in the Celebrations in May with members providing Residency to our Faculty for 2013. That proposal has development of the highly successful Health Mentors presentations, organizational help and assistance been approved by the Faculty of Dentistry and awaits Program that introduces health professional students with Centennial events.
