We are a national
non-profit organization. Our main goal is to promote
interests of Russian American Dentists and raise
awareness about the importance of oral health in Russian
Speaking Community. We also provide a platform for
exchange of ideas among Russian American Dental
Professionals.
The organization is in its fourth year of operations.
Since inception we have organized multiple CE lectures
on a variety of topics such as Dental Implants, Cosmetic
Dentistry, Oral Cancer etc. All of our CE credits are
given In English and ADA/AGD certified.
Our speakers are members of our organization as well as
recognized speakers from different health and health
related professions. This year we signed a cooperation
agreement with Russian American Medical Association.
This was an important step in our development as an
organization. In October 2005 we held our Joint National
Conference in Washington, D.C.
Our current membership
stands at about 150 people. Our goal is to make our
organization truly international with representation in
every country where you can find practicing Russian
Speaking Dental Professionals. Our next Joint National
Conference will take place in New York City on September
29 th -October 1, 2006. We expect participants from
Germany, Russia, Israel as well as Dentists and
Physicians from all over US and Canada.
As an international
organization we will be planning conferences in Russia,
US and other countries where Russian Speaking Dental
Professionals practice.
One of our goals is to have
representation in local and national government, so our
united voices can be heard by political powers.
And last but not least. As
educated and successful members of our community we go
back to our roots. We held free Oral Cancer screenings
and Pediatric Screenings in our community. We are
planning a dental team mission to former Soviet Union.
We have plans to bring
Russian Dentist to US for training and internships.
So why should you join our
organization. The reasons are plenty.
-
Russians are the only
ethnic minority in the US, which did not have a
well-organized professional association representing
the interest of our professional community; Your
voice will be heard if you a part of our
organization. Our power is in our numbers.
-
We offer an array of
interesting meetings and conferences.

-
We offer social
interaction with a number of well-rounded,
interesting health professionals who are as pleasant
in the lecture hall as they are in the social
environment.

environment that is intellectually challenging and
fun.

all of it without support of our members. Annual
