Dental Continuing Education Office Update
Dr. Perry Jones has been serving as our Director Continuing Education since 2011. At the end of September, Dr. Jones will be stepping down as director but will continue as a part-time faculty member and continue to provide instruction in the continuing education courses he has been offering. Under his leadership, much positive change has taken place including reorganizing the office as a branch of Dentistry@VCU, implementing a state-of-the-art management system for course registration and record keeping, and lowering the operating cost of the office. Under Dr. Jones watch, and with the help of Dr. Laurie Carter, our ADA CERP accreditation was successfully renewed. I am very thankful for his service and his willingness to step into this role at a time when many other changes were taking place in the school. With Dr. Jones stepping down, the Office of Continuing Education will be reorganized with Ms. Pamela Flynn reporting to Ms. Kim Jacobs in the Office of the Executive Associate Dean, Ms. Rebecca Pousson. Ms. Flynn has relocated to Wood first floor, room 102. As required for CERP accreditation, the program has an advisory committee which we plan to expand. The advisory committee’s role is to provide guidance on priorities for course offerings. If you see Dr. Jones, please thank him for his service to our CE program as well as to our school.
