Message from the Online Community Manager

Introducing...
My name is Kami and I'm the new Online Community Manager. If you think you recognize my name or face, you probably do! I'm actually not "new" at all. I was hired as a chairside assistant in 2000 at Dr. Farran's dental practice in Phoenix, Arizona. After a couple of years in the back office, I moved to the front office - and that is where my love for people and my passion for dentistry ignited. I realized that my drive was to provide excellent customer service and how only a few seconds of dedicated compassion could make the day of someone in need of help.

In 2003, I began at Farran Media where I worked in the Circulation Department and then as Dr. Farran's Seminar Coordinator. Taking a few short years off to say home with my babies, I returned to the Circulation Department and now have the supreme pleasure of taking over as the Online Community Manager! So, if I look familiar it's because I've given you a tour, scheduled one of Dr. Farran's lectures for you, changed your subscription or handed you a badge at the Townie Meeting. Through all my transitions and different hats I've worn at Today's Dental and Farran Media, one thing remains the same: I could not get through the learning curves without relying on the help of my colleagues. In this same spirit, I encourage you to reach out and help a new grad or someone seeking help on the message boards. Leave your words of wisdom, thoughts and experiences on the message boards for the benefit of another. You never know whose day you are going to make.

Online CE
Introducing Dental Sleep Medicine into Your Practice
- Barry Glassman, DMD, DAAPM, DAACP, FICCMO, Diplomate ABDSM, FADI

We are being bombarded with the potential role of dentistry in sleep medicine; and yet only a fraction of those who learn about sleep medicine have successfully added these concepts to their general practices. We will teach not only the concepts of sleep medicine, but emphasize the challenges for the general dentist that need to be addressed successfully to help your patients with sleep-disturbed breathing conditions.
