I Want You (To Join Our Editorial Board)


Thomas Giacobbi, DDS, FAGD
Editorial Director,
Dentaltown Magazine

Dentaltown is a community based on participation and mutual sharing for the benefit of all participants. After five years of personally selecting threads, editing articles, writing a column and reviewing submissions, it is time to get some help from the community. I have recently made the decision to launch an editorial board for Dentaltown Magazine. This column outlines our plans and includes details for you to apply for membership to our new board.

Why is Dentaltown creating an editorial board?
The editorial board will increase our dental horsepower for the selection of threads that appear in the magazine. We will also look to our editorial board as a source of original content in the form of articles, case presentations or threads. Dentaltown Magazine publishes continuing education every month and this group will take turns vetting these articles and providing additional professional opinions to consider during the editing process.

Who will be on the board?
The board will consist of a variety of dental professionals including general dentists and specialists. We will look for dentists who are active online, dentists with special interests in a particular specialty and a variety of experience from new dentists to seasoned professionals.

What is required of editorial board members?
The members of our board will be active in shaping the content of our magazine and they will have opportunities for input on other projects from time to time. This is a tremendous networking opportunity and it will benefit each member to his/her degree of contribution. The board members will have a predetermined term length and they will not be asked to do an excessive amount of work. Rest assured, I understand the demands on a full-time dentist so editorial tasks should not intrude too much upon board members’ daily responsibilities.

How do I apply?
Look for the official announcement of our online application in one of our upcoming weekly e-Newsletters. This will be a brief application that is intended to get an understanding for your areas of expertise and what skills you will bring to our group.

When will the board be selected?
The board will be selected in the first quarter of 2009 and it will consist of dental professionals who have submitted applications and a few individuals that we will recruit directly.

If you have any interest in being part of this special group, please watch for details in an upcoming edition of our e-Newsletter delivered every Friday, or send me an e-mail: tom@dentaltown.com.
