What Can Organized Dentistry do for a New Dentist, Professionally and Personally?

When did the Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting originate and what is its mission?

The first meeting was organized in Atlanta in 1911 by Dr. Thomas P. Hinman and was considered to be the first dental clinic “strictly for serious-minded educational purposes.” Dr. Hinman believed strongly in the individual’s contribution to dentistry and required attendees to return to their local dental societies and present what they had learned in a formal program. Hinman is founded on this tradition, but also focused on the future. The meeting has a 103-year legacy for quality, professionalism, devotion to detail, southern hospitality, and above all, a high regard for the value of continuing education. At the same time, Hinman is focused on the future with emphasis on technology and leadingedge educational programming that allow both the established and beginning dentist to deliver the best patient care possible. To help ensure that dental professionals attending Hinman meet their state CE requirements, the program meets the continuing education requirements set by the Academy of General Dentistry and State Boards of Dentistry.

How did you first get involved with the Hinman?

Dr. George Schuette was General Chairman of the Hinman Meeting in 1977 and my family dentist. Even while I was in dental school, he encouraged me to join the Hinman Dental Society. He told me the friendships I would form in Hinman would be some of my best relationships in dentistry, and I have found those words to be true.

As a member of Hinman since 1983, I have served in many volunteer roles over the years and gained so much knowledge not only from each facet of running the meeting, but also from the many speakers, exhibitors, and of course, peers and mentors who’ve been involved and attended the meeting.

Why is it important for young dentists to become involved in organized dentistry?

We believe that dentistry has been, and will continue to be, a profession based on relationships. Many of today’s graduates finish school with record amounts of debt and educational loans, so thinking about relationships in the face of such financial pressures

Organized Dentistry Helps Young Dentists Navigate Careers

can be overwhelming. If you are starting a practice or joining a practice, there are many questions and challenges ahead. Groups like the Hinman Dental Society can help young dentists navigate these challenges and provide a network of support for the lifetime of a career. Specifically, I see Hinman/organized dentistry helping young dentists the most with:

Continuing Education Dedicated to New Dentists: There are special programs like Hinman’s new day-long G.O.L.D. (Graduates of the Last Decade) Program designed to give young doctors critical practice and clinical guidance early in their careers. You’ll also find courses that are essential in helping young dentists establish a practice or evaluate opportunities, equipment and products. • Professional Networking: Dental organizations and groups also provide a network of professionals that you can rely upon. Throughout the year, I can rely on this network to share best practices, consult with me on a difficult or unusual case, or point me in the right direction on selecting a new piece of equipment or incorporating new technology into the practice. • Employment Opportunities: Dental organizations like Hinman are the best resource for those searching for a practice to join or professionals to hire to help grow your practice. And, you can feel confident that you can find someone to whom you can refer. I have found Hinman members and those involved in organized dentistry, to be the “cream of the crop,” and I find their integrity, desire to learn, skill level and willingness to share to be exceptional.

Is the Technical Exhibit Hall a valuable destination for the emerging dentist and why?

Most definitely. At the Hinman meeting you will find the latest technology, equipment, products and services all located in one place at one time! It would be impossible to learn about each and every new product or technology on your own. And students and new dentists can gain hands-on experience and knowledge in workshops and courses provided by dentistry’s leading authorities, as well as see them demonstrated by the industry’s foremost experts in the exhibit hall environment.

What exciting programs do you have on the schedule this year that are geared directly to the new dentist?

For 2015, we’re especially excited about a special day-long event on Friday, March 27, at Hinman called the G.O.L.D Program (Graduates of the Last Decade). This program is focused on giving young doctors important practice and clinical guidance to make their path to success clearer. Check out the schedule for the day at www.hinman.org/GOLDProgram.aspx. We have selected an incredible roster of the profession’s top clinical, interdisciplinary and practice leaders, as well as our keynote speaker, John Connolly, Managing Director at Bain Capital Ventures—all of whom will inspire young dentists and motivate them. Mr. Imtiaz Manji, CEO of Spear, will open the event and act as emcee throughout the day. It’s also unique because we are contacting the established dentists and specialists in the Hinman region to sponsor G.O.L.D dentists to the event. Seating will be at round tables of 10, so the attendees can interact through out the day and build relationships and mentorships. Lunch and a reception at the end of the day are included as part of the course. We think it will be one of the greatest values available at any dental meeting.

We love Hinman’s Southern Hospitality. Do you think that is another reason so many dental teams attend year after year?

Also, young dentists and dental students have asked us if we could provide an opportunity for them to meet potential employees/practice partners at the Hinman meeting, so we are offering a Career Connections by Hinman opportunity on Saturday afternoon. It will be a “Speed Date” format. Hinman will provide a small booth space and a time keeper/coordinator. Participants will be given 10-minute time intervals to meet and greet potential associates, and then move on to the next individual. Starting on Feb. 2, 2015, established dentists who might be looking for associates or practice partners will have the opportunity to register on the Hinman website at hinman.org/careerconnections.aspx and secure a booth space. Young dentists and students can then access

What has the Hinman meant to you, your family and your career?

Hinman is an organization based on relationships and professionalism, and it has really been an extension of my family. Through my work in Hinman, I have met great dentists and people all across the America’s, and around the world. Our oldest daughter graduated from dental school at Medical College of Georgia/ Georgia Regents University, and through our Hinman connections she met her husband who happens to be a native of Nice, France, and a graduate of the dental school located there! So Hinman and the associated relationships have been wonderful to my family and my career.

the established practice information and set up appointments at the meeting. We think it can be a great time-saver and opportunity for all parties concerned, and once again follow the Hinman tradition of helping establish relations and mentorships in dentistry.

We also host a pre-dental student forum with over 15 representatives in attendance to answer questions for potential dental students.

We continue to have a dental student reception and a question and answer panel consisting of young dentists sharing their experiences in the early practice years just out of dental school.

Dr. Dave C. Lee has extensive training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. His considerable training, skills, and unique eye for detail combine to create beautiful smiles for his patients. He takes a personalized approach to dental care, getting to know his patients and listening to their goals before creating treatment plans to achieve the results they envision. Dr. Lee is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a member of the Hinman Dental Society, and the American Dental Association. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia, and his dental degree from the Medical College of Georgia. A graduate of Baylor University’s Continuum of Contemporary Esthetic Diagnosis and Treatment and the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Advanced Dental Studies, Dr. Lee has accrued thousands of hours of postgraduate study, including participation in continuing education programs (on average, 60 to 80 hours’ worth each year).

And we will again host a Women in Dentistry event to especially encourage networking and support for the young women in our profession.

We would like to think so. Delivering Southern Hospitality was very important to Dr. Hinman, and we’ve continued to ensure that this is a big part of the Hinman experience. We want everyone to feel welcomed the minute they arrive at the meeting or join the Society. Each one of the more than 800 members of the Hinman Dental Society volunteers to work at least one full day at the meeting. They each take personal pride in making the meeting the best possible experience for our attendees/ guests. We believe it does set us apart and makes each and every attendee, as well as our speakers and exhibitors want to return the following year.
