Symposia program provides distinctive events tailored to help dentists expand their practice horizons in 2023 and beyond.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - November 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Glidewell has announced its 2023 Glidewell Symposia program, featuring impactful continuing education opportunities on everything from implant dentistry and dental sleep medicine to digital dentistry and business management. Held throughout the year at the Glidewell Clinical Education Center in Irvine, California, the program consists of distinctive two-day events specifically tailored to help dental professionals expand their practice horizons in 2023 and beyond.

"I'm so happy to once again host Glidewell Symposia on our campus," said Glidewell Founder and President Jim Glidewell, CDT. "For more than 50 years, our goal at Glidewell has been to assist in better, faster, more accessible care — and we've worked toward this objective first as a dental laboratory, then as a materials manufacturer, and today as an education center, research facility, technological innovator and so much more. Having worked with tens of thousands of dentists over the years, we have unique insight into the everyday challenges of the practitioner, and we strive to do everything in our power to help dentists solve those issues, grow their practices and treat more patients in need."

The Glidewell Symposium launched in 2017 to help dentists learn new skills in making dental treatment more predictable, efficient and reliable than ever before. Since its inaugural event, Glidewell has been listening to attendees and applying the feedback received each year to create an exceptional experience. Now, with even more clinical topics, more business advice, more leadership development opportunities and more hands-on workshops, the 2023 schedule provides a wide variety of events for dentists at any stage in their careers. The upcoming calendar includes: 

  • Implants: The Surgical Phase (March 24-25) 
    • Explore the surgical aspects of implant placement.
  • Sleep: Building Your Practice with Dental Sleep Medicine (April 21-22)
    • Learn the modern dentist's role in sleep dentistry.
  • Esthetics: Creating Beautiful Smiles (June 23-24)
    • Identify techniques and materials for achieving esthetic makeovers.
  • Complete Dentures: Mastering the Foundational Skills (July 28-29)
    • Discover the future of removables in the dental practice.
  • IOX: The Digital Dentistry Experience (August 18-19) 
    • Integrate the latest in digital chairside technology.
  • Women on the Rise: Elevating Digital Dentistry (September 22-23)
    • Incorporate digital technology into every aspect of your practice.
  • Implants: The Restorative Phase (October 13-14)
    • Examine the restorative aspects of implant dentistry.

While each event is distinct, all symposia have one thing in common: a popular two-day educational format. On the first day, attendees will experience fast-paced, main podium presentations from experts in the field; and on the second day, participants can choose from a variety of focused lectures and hands-on workshops that teach immediately implementable skills. 

"The mission of the Glidewell Symposia is to provide focused educational programs to keep dentists informed about the latest techniques, technologies and trends in dentistry — with a level of insight unique to the world's largest dental lab," said Jim Glidewell. "Each event offers impactful content and resources with takeaways that you can immediately integrate into your practice. I invite dental professionals to come join us. Previous attendees have assured us these events are a memorable experience."

The official launch of the program will begin with the first event "Implants: The Surgical Phase" on March 24-25. This Implant Symposium will provide two days of clinical and business education in the surgical phase of implant dentistry, and participants will receive nine CE hours. The first day of the event will feature concise, powerful and practical presentations with renowned experts — such as Drs. Randolph Resnik, Timothy Kosinski, Jack Hahn and Roger Levin — and on the second day, participants can select either an in-depth lecture or a workshop with hands-on exercises designed to help clinicians enhance their surgical skills. Topics available on the second day include the following:

  • Socket preservation
  • Guided surgery from start to finish
  • Full-arch guided surgery and immediate provisionalization
  • Placing small-diameter implants
  • Sinus grafting

Glidewell Symposia are for dentists, hygienists, and chairside and front-office team members. Enrollment is now open for the Implant Symposium on March 24-25; preregistration is available for all other events. Tuition is $495 for each two-day event, and attendees can use promo code GL23 to receive $100 off registration. Tuition includes complimentary breakfast and lunch on both days, as well as a campus tour and a hosted cocktail party and dinner on Friday. Participants will also be able to browse interactive exhibits during both days of the event. Due to limited space, attendees are encouraged to register or preregister early to secure their seats.

As the ninth Pasadena Villa Outpatient location and the second in Tennessee, Pasadena Villa Outpatient — Knoxville was developed to respond to the area's growing need for superior clinical treatment for mental health disorders. 

According to the most recent information from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), in Tennessee in 2021:

"This new facility in Knoxville furthers our mission of providing seamless support for those facing significant mental health challenges through connection, compassion, and holistic care on their journey to mental wellness."

The Knoxville location specializes in treating the most prevalent mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, and more complex co-occurring disorders. Multidisciplinary teams, consisting of licensed clinicians and board-certified psychiatrists collaborate to create individualized treatment plans for every client receiving care. Each person's treatment is supported by close collaboration with providers in the community to maintain a smooth transition to lower levels of care as clients complete their program.

Providing psychiatric care for adults of all genders (18 years and older) with mental health disorders, the Knoxville clinic offers multiple levels of care including a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

R.E.A.L. Black Women in Ministry Thrive Initiative, funded by the Lilly Endowment and co-sponsored by the Global Black Women's Chamber of Commerce, will Honor 'She-Roes'

WASHINGTON - November 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Three hundred trailblazing Black women faith leaders from across the country will convene at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, this Friday, Dec. 2, 6-10 p.m. for a gala recognizing 20 outstanding "She-roes." The event is part of an unprecedented effort to mentor emerging Black female clergy taking the reins of an almost exclusively male-led religious sector of American life.

Hosting the ceremony will be President Obama's appointee, the Honorable (Reverend Dr.) Suzan D. Johnson Cook, the first woman and African-American to be Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom. Dr. Cook was also the first woman president of the legendary Hampton Ministers' Conference, a major association of Black clergy, denominations, and institutions. Now in her 40th year of ordained ministry, Ambassador Cook has dedicated this season of her work "not to retiring, but to inspiring." 

Among the honorees will be Turner Theological Seminary of Atlanta's first African-American female president, Dr. Ammie L. Davis, the first Black woman to lead a Baptist missions agency, Dr. Gina Stewart, and the First Lady of the 1.3 million-member Full Gospel Movement, Elder Debra Morton. 

Dr. Johnson Cook said, "You can't keep good women down. The strength of their character, charisma, spirit, and intellect causes them to rise to the top. These women and the generations that will follow them constitute the soul of America. They are, in fact, the keepers of our country's soul and conscience, and they inspire us all to rise to our very best, as they have done."

Proceeds from the dinner will help establish the first-ever Women in Ministry Center on an HBCU campus, reflecting the objectives of Women on the World Stage, "leadership development for enhancing, empowering, equipping, and advancing women."

The event invites reporters to attend.

Digitunity Releases Methodology for Sustainable Device Ecosystems
Utilizing this framework, communities can ensure access to free and low-cost computers for residents impacted by the digital divide.

NORTH CONWAY, N.H. - November 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Digitunity, a national nonprofit organization with over 40 years of experience in advancing digital equity through device ownership, has released new guidance for communities to ensure a sustainable supply of free or low-cost computers is available for residents in need.

To thrive in the modern economy, everyone needs a connected computer. Device ownership is the heart of digital equity. It unlocks the vast opportunities provided by the internet, including education, employment, healthcare, commerce, communication, and civic engagement.

Digitunity's guidance, entitled "Methodology for a Sustainable Device Ecosystem," describes the conditions communities must have in place to ensure marginalized residents have the ability to obtain a computer. They will release and discuss this guidance in a webinar at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7. You can register for the webinar here.

The need is widespread. According to Digitunity's analysis of recent U.S. Census data, 36 million people in America do not own a computer. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act commits $65 billion toward eliminating the deep, persistent digital divide continuing to plague the U.S.

This investment gives states and communities the opportunity to expand broadband infrastructure, connect disconnected residents, provide digital literacy training, and get free or low-cost computers to people who need them. As plans come together for expending these funds, devices cannot be an afterthought.

"By releasing this framework, we hope to demonstrate to states, municipalities, coalitions, and community groups that by working collaboratively, it is within our reach to develop a lasting solution that makes it possible for residents in need to obtain affordable computers," said Scot Henley, Executive Director of Digitunity.

The guidance maps out several conditions communities must establish so residents have access to a reliable, robust supply of computers, along with connectivity, training, and additional support. It also describes specific considerations related to the devices themselves including how they are prepared, what their intended use might be, and how they can reach those most in need.

"Using this federal investment to simply purchase computers would be a short-sighted answer and not the best use of this opportunity," said Henley. "Now is the time for the corporate sector, government, philanthropy, and nonprofit organizations to collaborate with communities on establishing new systems that can give residents access to devices, both today and in the future."

Through this guidance and additional publications to be released, Digitunity intends to leverage its unique body of work and independent, national lens to inform the field and provide communities with novel ideas about how to eliminate the digital divide. Digitunity is available to advise states, municipalities, and coalitions on program design and implementation. Learn more here.

About Digitunity

Digitunity connects corporate and individual donors of technology to thousands of partner organizations serving people in need across North America. With a proven body of work and a national network of member organizations, Digitunity works to ensure all barriers limiting equitable opportunity to participate in our digitally-connected society are removed.
