NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) is hosting two meetings for today’s globally minded dental education and research communities: the 5th ADEA International Women’s Leadership Conference (IWLC) and the ADEA International Workshop. Both events will focus on professional development, leadership strategies, cross-cultural connections and curricular reform to help chart dentistry’s future course.

Both events will be held at the Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel from Sept. 14 to 16 in Barcelona, Spain. Hundreds of dental educators, leaders and practitioners from around the world are expected to come together with ADEA experts, other thought leaders and emerging pioneers in dental education and research for the two conferences, which are separate in theme and focus.

In its fifth year, with the theme of “Global Health Through Women’s Leadership,” the ADEA IWLC is a three-day conference providing insight and perspectives on how women are forging new pathways to help advance future generations and produce better health outcomes globally. Participants — including both men and women — will explore research-based and practical strategies related to gender and the roles of women leaders in dentistry worldwide through plenaries, working groups and skills-building sessions.

Building on a long-standing collaboration with the Association for Dental Education in Europe, the ADEA International Workshop is a one-day event discussing change and innovation in dental education. With the theme “A Global Perspective on Leading Change and Innovation in Dental Education,” this meeting also presents an opportunity to further expand on ongoing efforts being championed through the ADEA Commission on Change and Innovation in Dental Education, which was created in 2005 to facilitate transformation in the education of dental professionals so they graduate with the competencies required to meet future oral health needs of the public.
