Announcing the Isman-Fine Oral Health Leadership Fellows Program

30 year ago, a renaissance of dental public health activity began in California. While many of the early advocates and leaders remain in the field today, many of our leaders are or will be retiring soon. 

This anticipated "brain drain" will result in the loss of many key experts whose institutional memory makes them among the most knowledgeable about the unique aspects of advancing a people-centered oral health agenda that ensures equal access to oral health services regardless of individual or community status. The oral health community in California needs to cultivate new leaders to re-energize the field and replace the long-time knowledgeable experts and advocates. 

To help develop emerging oral health champions in California, Center for Oral Health is establishing the Isman-Fine Oral Health Leadership Fellows Program. 

Named after two leading public oral health experts, Robert Isman, DDS, MPH and Jared Fine, DDS, MPH, the Isman-Fine Oral Health Leadership Fellows Program is a one-year interdisciplinary, mentored fellowship program focused on health-related community service and leadership development in California.
