9. Last winter quarter a clinic model committee was assembled to study our clinic teaching model and make recommendations to the Dean for improvement to the organization/ management of our current system.

10. Committee • Terry Hoover (Chair) • Marc Geissberger • Cindy Lyon • Alan Budenz • Peter Hansen • Eddie Hayashida • Russ Woodson • Foroud Hakim • Brian Gilmore (student rep) • Nader Nadershahi

11. Brief overview of our Recommendation: • Combining of 2nd and 3rd year students into one teaching model—no separate 2nd year clinic; each clinical teaching group would contain both 2nd and 3rd year students

12. Brief overview of our Recommendation: • Combining of 2nd and 3rd year students into one teaching model—no separate 2nd year clinic; each clinical teaching group would contain both 2nd and 3rd year students • GPM faculty would be expanded through cross training to include faculty from multiple departments supervising all ODTP, restorative, simple perio, removable, and possibly screening and emergency care in each teaching group

13. In this new model we were looking for more effective ways to utilize our faculty specialists

14. In this new model we were looking for more effective ways to utilize our faculty specialists • There was no consensus on the number of groups but the additional GPMs assigned to each of these larger groups would maintain our current student/faculty ratio and would provide enough faculty to buffer unexpected faculty absences, meeting attendance, or integrated curriculum needs

15. There is now an implementation group chaired by Anders Nattestad looking at this recommendation, soliciting additional input from the Pacific community, and synthesizing ideas of their own with the goal of moving any eventual model change forward. The SWOT analysis we will be doing today is important to Dr. Nattestad’s group.
