MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENTS This section of the 2009-2010 Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry Annual Report highlights accomplishments that are related to the mission and vision of the College. The mission and vision statements are listed below, and the related 2009-2010 accomplishments are described on the subsequent pages.

MISSION The mission of BCD is to improve the oral health of Texans and shape the future of dentistry by: Developing exemplary clinicians, educators and scientists. Caring for the needs of a diverse community. Serving as a leader in health professions education. Seeking innovations in science, education and health care delivery.

VISION Following a century of excellence, BCD will continue to be a leader in dental education by: Enhancing instruction through state-of-the-art simulation and management of patient information through digital technologies. Enhancing its national and international reputation for craniofacial and oral biomaterials research. Continuing its leadership role in assessment, institutional effectiveness, and competency based education.

DEVELOPING EXEMPLARY CLINICIANS Entering Qualifications- The quality of incoming HSC-BCD students remains high. The average cumulative GPA of the 2010 entering first-year dental class was 3.56 and 3.53 for first-year dental hygiene. The Dental Aptitude Test Academic Average score for first-year dental students was 19.2 (scale of 0-30). Diversity Pipeline- A number of Bridge to Dentistry programs have evolved at HSC-BCD to create a pipeline of potential dental students from culturally diverse and/or disadvantaged backgrounds. The following programs were very successful this year: In the K-12 Dental Career Awareness, 2,157 pre-K-6th-grade students and 501 7th-12th-grade students from the Dallas Independent School District participated in dental awareness events and counseling activities. Six Future Dentists Clubs (FDC) were established. Four were in elementary schools, and one was in a middle school. A city-wide FDC was established for high school students. Twenty-one 10th-graders, 21 11th-graders, 25 12th-graders, 12 high school graduates and 25 college students participated in summer predental enrichment programs. Sixteen students participated in the 2009-2010 Post-Baccalaureate Program. These students spent one year after college graduation in a rigorous curriculum focused on Dental Aptitude Test preparation and upper-division science courses. Students who met detailed performance criteria were accepted at HSC-BCD. Eleven of these students are now first-year dental students at HSC-BCD. Another 31 of these students are distributed throughout the D2-D4 classes here at the College. Funding for Bridge to Dentistry- The College’s Bridge to Dentistry program was funded by two different grants last year. The College’s Bridge to Dentistry program received a nearly $200,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in March 1, 2008. HSCBCD was one of only eight dental schools selected to receive funding to improve diversity among the student body or increase access to dental care in underserved areas through community-based education. The grant ends May 30, 2010. The Bridge to Dentistry program also received a Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The project period is September 1, 2009 – August 31, 2012, and the total amount for the grant award was $2,315,713. Great Expectations Mentoring Program- This mentoring program is a collaboration between HSC-BCD and the Texas Section of the International College of Dentists (ICD). Mentoring is done within groups, each with an ICD leader, faculty mentors, and D1, D3 and D4 members. Over ninety-five percent of the D1 class participated in an ice cream social with their mentors, and almost ninety percent attended the Dallas County Dental Society event. This program has been adopted by UT Houston and UT San Antonio dental schools and other schools are considering adoption.

Student Diversity- Efforts continue to increase the diversity of the student body. For the entering dental class of 2010, there were 12 African American entrants, 26 Hispanic entrants and six Native Americans. Underrepresented minorities (African American, Hispanic and Native American) made up 31 percent of the entire dental school and 37 percent of the first-year dental class. HSC-BCD’s 2010 entering dental class leads all traditional U.S. dental schools in diversity. Cultural Competence Course- A new course was implemented in the fall of 2008, Cultural Competence in Dental Health Care and Education (6850). Because the successful delivery of oral health care requires an understanding of each patient’s frame of reference, this course explores cultural differences and similarities to increase awareness of the values and beliefs that impact health care and daily interactions. The goals of the course are (1) to promote open-mindedness and respect for all individuals – faculty, staff, students, and patients, and (2) to heighten awareness of the role of culture in oral health treatment acceptance and outcomes. The course engages first-year dental students in two two-hour class sessions at the beginning of the fall semester. Predoctoral Implant Curriculum- The College continues to develop an implant program for predoctoral students with the goal of every student having an implant experience. Almost all (91%) of the students in the D4 class of 2010 had an implant experience. There were a total of 600 implant procedures. Production from implants has increased from $5,248 in 2005-2006 to $109,166 in 2009-2010. National & Regional Examinations- HSC-BCD students continue to experience very high first-time passing rates on their national and regional examinations. The dental students graduating in 2010 had an 87 percent pass rate on the licensing exam conducted by the Western Regional Examining Board. The graduating dental hygiene class of 2010 had a 90 percent pass rate on the Western Regional Examining Board. For the National Board Examinations, the dental students had first-time pass rates of 95 percent for Part I and 74 percent for Part II. Dental hygiene students had a 100 percent pass rate on the National Board Examination. Developing Evidence-Based Thinking- Progress continues to be made toward the goals of the National Institutes of Health R25 Oral Health Research Education Grant. Curriculum: As a continuation of our introduction of evidenced-based (EBD) content into the dental curriculum one year at a time, an EBD module was included in a critical thinking case scenario required of all D3 students. These scenarios were part of the case conferences in which D3 students present a report on a patient they are treating. Each scenario dealt with a challenging issue bearing on treatment; as part of this exercise, students were asked to evaluate the evidence for an issue pertinent to the scenario. This represents our initial effort to translate EBD knowledge learned in the D1-D2 years into a clinical context. Planning is underway for an extension of this process into the D4 year. Faculty Development: The traditional Research Day, reconfigured in 2009 to include clinical case presentations by D3 and D4 students, was further expanded to feature presentations of Critically-Assessed Topics (CATs) by D2 students. These students were chosen based on their excellent CATs presentations in the D2 course, Application of Evidence-Based Dentistry I (7400). Our summer course, Fundamentals of Evidence-Based Dentistry for Clinical Faculty, was attended by ten clinical faculty (6 from Restorative, 2 from General Dentistry, and one each 9

from Dental Hygiene and Periodontics). Three speakers presented at the Clinical Colloquium in 2010, providing evidence-based updates on adhesive materials, implants, and CAD-CAM targeted to clinical faculty. Dental Scholars Track: The first three Dental Scholars, D1 students chosen for their nascent interest in a career in dental academics, did summer research projects, applied for (and in one instance, was awarded) AADR Student Research Fellowships, and attended research presentations and a teaching selective. A new cohort of three Dental Scholars was chosen in December 2010 from the class of 2014. Assessment: In spring 2009, both EBD trained and non-trained students were assessed with the PEAK (practices, experiences, attitudes and knowledge) instrument, and the trained students scored higher than non-trained on the knowledge questions (p<.001). Throughout the life of the grant, the PEAK instrument will be used to compare the EBD knowledge and skills of the trained versus the nontrained students as well as to track their learning over time. Focus groups are also held for the faculty who participate in the summer training program to measure the effectiveness of their training. Continuing Education- The Continuing Education office continues to provide numerous learning options for dental practitioners. For the 2009-2010 year, the office offered 37 traditional courses with 2,755 participants and 10 distance education courses with 322 participants.

Small group teaching session for EBD

Medicaid Provider Training- The Pediatric Dentistry department has developed a curriculum to promote dentists becoming Medicaid providers. The dental director for the Texas Medicaid program spoke to the 4th year students about becoming providers. She then returned to provide the required training session for billing the newly developed “first dental home” code should they decide to become Medicaid providers after graduation. Approximately 50 dental students were certified as “First Dental Home” providers in 2010.

DEVELOPING EXEMPLARY EDUCATORS Preparing Educators- Several College programs prepared students for an academic career. The Health Professions Education Program is a master’s degree program for dentists seeking a degree in education. Three students were enrolled in 2009-2010. (Ernie) The Master of Science in Dental Hygiene program, approved in 1996, prepares dental hygienists for teaching or administration. Two students were enrolled in 2009-2010. Twelve students have graduated from the program. Of these graduates, eight have taught/are teaching in dental hygiene programs, and four are administrators of health care organizations in the Dallas area. The Kellogg/American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Comprehensive Dental Faculty Development Program and Baylor College of Dentistry fund the tuition or other educational expenses for selected graduate students who are primarily from underrepresented minority populations or disadvantaged backgrounds and are interested in teaching (2004-2009). In exchange, the students commit to teach at a dental school after graduation for the number of years they were funded. Four students were enrolled in the program in the 2009-2010 academic year. Four participants have already graduated, and they all entered academics upon completion of the program. Selective Course about Teaching- A selective course, Exploring Dental Academia (S020), was offered for the first time in summer 2007. It provided an opportunity for dental students to investigate dental education as a career option and to gain a foundation in the pedagogical skills necessary for success in academia. Participants receive financial stipends which decrease the need for summer employment and improve their availability for coursework in and out of the classroom. Twenty students enrolled in 2007, 19 in 2008, 17 in 2009 and 18 in 2010. One recent graduate who took this course has declared her intent to teach at a dental school. Faculty Development- The Office of Faculty Development was created in 2005 to address a growing national shortage of dental professionals who choose academic careers. Numerous development opportunities were provided to faculty during the 2009-2010 year, including the following sessions: Brauman-Bell Alpha Omega Lectureship - The Clinical Implementation of CAMBRA (October 27, 2009) Mini Faculty Retreat - 2011 CODA Accreditation (November 24, 2009) Faculty Retreat - Web 2.0 and Education 2.0: Implications for Dental Education (January 7, 2010) Morris Minton Lectureship - New Honor Codes for a New Generation (March 24, 2010) Faculty Calibration Workshop - Quality Assessment of Student Performance (June 22, 2010) Faculty Peer Review- To help faculty members improve their teaching and document their teaching efforts, a peer review process was developed. A task force developed materials to assist faculty members in evaluating their faculty peers. The task force designed evaluation instruments with criteria for clinical, 11

classroom and laboratory teaching. Video vignettes were recorded for calibrating task force members, as well as for demonstrating good teaching practices to all faculty members. The plan was presented to faculty members for their review at the Faculty Retreat on January 4, 2006, and it was revised based on the feedback received. Since the program began in January 2006, 16 faculty members have completed the peer review process. New Faculty Orientation- To introduce new faculty members to the resources and policies of the College, a task force was convened in 2005 to plan an HSC-BCD faculty orientation process. The committee identified and collected documents for an electronic faculty manual that was posted on the College intranet site. New Faculty Orientation Seminars were held twice in 2005-2006 (December 14, 2005, and June 23, 2006). Since then the orientation has been held once a year in December. To date, 46 faculty members have participated in these sessions. HSC-BCD Faculty Awards- Awards are presented annually to faculty members at the faculty retreat in January to recognize excellence in each of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission areas: teaching, research in basic science, research in clinical science and service. Faculty members are awarded funds to improve their efforts in these areas. In January 2010, three awards were presented to faculty members: professional service (Dr. John Wright), basic science research (Dr. Chunlin Qin) and clinical research (Dr. Lisa Cheng). External Educator Awards- The Dallas County Dental Society (DCDS) annually provides an award to a Baylor faculty member who is an outstanding teacher and contributor to their organization. Dr. Jordan Schweitzer won the DCDS Baylor Faculty Award in 2010. 2010 Faculty Scholars learning EBD 12

DEVELOPING EXEMPLARY SCIENTISTS Research Collaborations with Health Care Institutions- Collaborations are ongoing between researchers in the department of Biomedical Sciences and the Baylor Research Institute. So far, these have resulted in two scientific collaborations, two grant applications and three in-progress publications. Student Summer Research Program- Student research has been strength at HSC-BCD since the 1970s. At that time, the Short-Term Training Program was implemented to encourage undergraduate students to conduct research, as was the Student Research Day, which provided a venue for presenting research findings. Over the years, support for student research has grown to include greatly increased funding, faculty mentoring and student travel to research conferences. The program is currently supported by HSC-BCDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intramural research funds and the Baylor Oral Health Foundation. Dental students have the opportunity to work on a research project with a faculty member in the summer prior to entering the first year of the dental program or after their first year. In summer 2010, 34 students participated in the program. The BCD Student Research Group has had an active participation within the national student organization, with a student elected to an officer position within the American Association of Dental Research (AADR) National Student Research Group (NSRG) each year since 2003. One student was elected to a leadership position at the 2010 AADR meeting. Clinicians Using Science Produce Inspired Dentists Student Research Presentations- Twenty-seven students presented papers at the 2010 AADR meeting and one at the ADEA meeting, both held in Washington DC. Seven students presented at the 2010 Hinman National Student Research Symposium in Memphis. Presentations at IADR/AADR- HSC-BCD faculty members and students were highly visible at the annual meeting of the IADR-AADR in Washington, DC, March 3-6, 2010. There were 48 presentations by HSC-BCD faculty and students at this meeting. Faculty Presentations at ADEA- HSC-BCD faculty members were also visible at the annual meeting of the American Dental Education Association in Washington, DC, 2010. There was one Presidential Symposium (by three faculty members), another symposium (by one faculty member), two Lunch and Learn sessions (by three faculty members), four research posters (by seven faculty members) and one section program.

The EBD initiative at HSC-BCD is symbolized by the CUSPID logo.

NIDCR Summer Research Fellowship for Predoctoral Students- Two students received an NIDCR Summer Research Fellowship. In this program, they conduct research with the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) and other National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers in Bethesda, Md., for eight weeks. 13

Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences- Academic Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in biomedical science are granted by the School of Graduate Studies (SGS). The HSC-BCD SGS campus has a Graduate Program Director for Biomedical Sciences and an institution-wide Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences Committee that oversee these graduate students. The program is overseen by the SGS and in part by the Office of the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education. This program trains advanced students for positions in academic dentistry with an emphasis on modern dental and craniofacial research, including basic, translational and clinical areas of investigation. During the 2009-2010 academic year, 25 students participated, including 11 M.S. students and 14 Ph.D. students. Two of the Ph.D. students were participating in a joint D.D.S./Ph.D. program. Four M.S. students were in a joint clinical specialty/M.S. program. HSC-BCD Clinical Research Program- In 2006, the college implemented a new Clinical Research Program to develop clinical researchers, which are typically clinicians who are part-time researchers. The program is a one-year flexible mentoring program customized to the needs of the scholar, with funds for a clinical research project. The program can be extended an additional 12 months to complete the research project and provides the funds for the scholars to present and publish their findings. There were eight faculty scholars engaged in clinical research in 2009-2010. Below is a summary of their projects. STARTING DATE/INVESTIGATOR 2006 CELESTE ABRAHAM, D.D.S., M.S.

KL2 Clinical Research Scholar Award Program- The KL2 Clinical Research Scholar Award Program is complementary to the HSC-BCD Clinical Research Program. The KL2 Program is part of a 34 million NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) funded to University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and its partner HSC-BCD for the purpose of developing the clinical research infrastructure in North and Central Texas. This program pays the salary of a selected clinical faculty member while he or she is in multi-year training and provides opportunities for pilot research funding. Dr. Kim Perry from HSC-BCD was the first dental scholar in the United States to take part in this program. She has now completed the program and has been awarded a MS in Clinical Sciences. Dr. Takashi Komabayashi is in the third year of the program. These newly trained clinical scholars will help expand the clinical research program at HSC-BCD. College Support for Faculty Research- In 2009-2010, the College internally supported research with $2,122,990. In addition, the College returned $487,178 of salary savings from grant activity back to departments. Research Awards- One student placed 2nd in the prestigious 2009 AADR Hatton Competition and won a trip to the 2010 IADR meeting in Barcelona, Spain to present her research. Another student was awarded a $1000 travel grant from the AADR to participate in the 2010 AADR meeting. At the 2010 AADR meeting, one student placed third in the Dentsply/Caulk Basic Sciences Category. At the Hinman National Student Research Competition in Memphis, Tennessee, Manshi Patel won Most Outstanding Presentation in Basic Science Research for her presentation â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regulation of Human Bmp4 15

Six other students competed in the competition, Ida Khobahy, Greg Knutsen, Caytlyn Foy, Karen Liang, Drew Vanderbrook and Patrick Whittington. NIDCR Training Program- A comprehensive training program was funded in July 2008 by a $1.6 million National Research Service Award Institutional Research Training (T32) Grant from the NIDCR. This four-year project, the largest T32 grant awarded in Texas A&M Health Science Center history, will provide research training and career development for dentistscientists. The program is named B-STARS and offers three tracks: a dual degree program (D.D.S./Ph.D.) for predoctoral students, a Ph.D. program for students holding a D.D.S. and a fellowship for postdoctoral students. Participants are mentored by faculty from HSC-BCD, HSC-Institute of Bioscience and Technology, UT Southwestern and Rice University in Houston. The T32 program is currently in its third year and supports nine trainees. Training for Junior Clinical Faculty- In December 2009, Dr. John Ivy presented a daylong seminar at the college on grant writing. Twenty BCD faculty members attended the general seminar, and eight faculty members later had individual conferences with Dr. Ivy about grants they were going to submit. Clinical Researchers- There are 13 DDS/PhD faculty in eight of the eleven College departments. One of the three departments without a DDS/PhD faculty member has a PhD degreed faculty member, and another has a very active research program with several DDS-MS faculty members. There are three faculty members with M.D. degrees and 19 PhD only faculty members. Pathway to Excellence Seminar Series- Since the program started in 2007, HSC-BCD has hosted 19 speakers. In winter/spring 2010, three speakers were hosted. The presentations were rated highly for relevance and currency in faculty evaluations. As of September 2010, five faculty members have reported a total of eight collaborations resulting from these visiting speakers.

CARING FOR THE NEEDS OF A DIVERSE COMMUNITY HSC-BCD Clinics- Within the various clinics at HSC-BCD, 18,510 patients were seen last year in 104,902 visits. The total net income for patient care by students was $7,748,600 and $1,982,400 for faculty professional services. The latter group provided $1,177,400 in uncompensated (charity) care. Quality Assurance- Clinical staff, faculty and students attended the Annual Quality Assurance/Risk Management meeting on June 8, 2010. Presentations included emergency response procedures, bloodborne exposures, quality assurance data review, security and safety issues, informed consent, electronic record management and the complaint/investigation process of the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. Community Clinics- The total net income for patient care generated in the various community clinics was $2,377,700. Community Service- HSC-BCD provided community service for over 295,000 individuals last year. This included: treatment in various community clinics, hospitals and nursing homes; spit tobacco awareness and oral cancer detection training for lay people and health care providers; oral health education at local schools; and oral screenings at health fairs. Community Service Training- Staff attended Staff Development Day on January 5, 2010, that included three customer-service workshops: “Have you met Johnny?”, “Working with you is killing me” and “When generational issues and health care chaos collide.” Dental Students in the Community- In the D3 year, dental students are required to plan and conduct two educational presentations at such sites as elementary schools, community colleges, nursing homes and senior citizen centers. Last year, D3 students provided education to 6,074 people at 68 different events. In the D4 year, students are required to provide oral health screenings and/or treatment at two community sites. Last year, D4 students treated 970 patients at 97 community dental clinics and screened 13,491 people at 46 health fairs and 650 students at two schools. As part of the Community Dentistry Externship (9080), D4 students spend up to 10 days on rotations through the Juvenile Detention Center, Community Dental Care’s Vickery Meadow dental clinic and the Dallas County Sealant Initiative. At the Juvenile Detention Center, students provide emergency and restorative care to children ages 5-18. At Vickery Meadow, students treat both adults and children. In the Sealant Initiative, students place sealants on DISD second-grade students. In the academic year 2009-2010, students treated 1,727 patients at the Juvenile Detention Center, 1,419 at the Vickery Meadow and other Community Dental Care clinics and 990 as part of the Dallas County Sealant Initiative. Dental Hygiene Students in the Community- As part of Public Health/Community Health (4530), second-year dental hygiene students educate the public on oral health through various outlets in the community including health fairs, elementary schools, PTA functions, Dallas Dental Hygienists’ Society events and HSC-BCD Sealant Days. The students are required to make two school site visits and participate in at least two dental health-related community service activities. They also are asked to identify an “at risk” community, assess its needs and provide education, as part of a final project for the course. This final project encourages the students to provide services in diverse areas such as nursing homes, teen pregnancy centers, juvenile detention centers and diabetes outpatient clinics. In the academic year 2009-2010, dental hygiene students provided oral health education outreach to approximately 3,710 individuals in community settings. 17

Elective Dental Preceptor Experience- Seventy-four students in the D4 class selected a Community Preceptor Program course in summer 2010. Eight students did dual preceptor programs. Under the guidance of 57 preceptor dentists, students treated patients in various clinics including the Indian Health Service, the Public Health Service’s Community-Oriented Primary Care clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers. They also observed treatment management in various group and solo practices. Mayor’s Back to School Fair- The Mayor’s Back to School Fair was held August 5, 2010, at the Fair Park Centennial Building in Dallas. The fair was free for Dallas school children from low-income families. By visiting four categories of service providers during the event, the children received free school supplies. Seventy-one student, faculty, and staff volunteers from HSC-BCD were involved in treating 1,300 K-6th-grade children. Clinicians provided quick “flashlight exams,” fluoride varnish and referrals for further treatment if needed. Spanish translators were available to convey to parents what was seen during the mini screenings. Former Dallas Mayor Laura Miller personally invited HSC-BCD to participate six years ago, and the College’s services have become an integral and valued part of the event. Other than immunizations, the HSC-BCD booth is the only one that performs a service that immediately benefits the children. Screening Process Updated- A more efficient method of scheduling screening appointments resulted in a decreased number of no-shows and cancellations as patients were seen within one week of scheduling. In addition, a panoramic x-ray was obtained at the appointment which provided a more accurate assessment of patient needs and resulted in more efficient student assignment. Crystal Charities Funding for Southeast Dental Clinic- The Crystal Charity Ball awarded funding for a new dental clinic in Pleasant Grove. It will be operated by Community Dental Care and coordinated with HSC-BCD programs. Clinic operations are planned to begin in April 2011. Volunteerism- Students, faculty and staff at the HSC-BCD volunteer their time to help meet the needs of the local community. Some of the fund raising activities include: Community Dental Care’s Annual SMILE Walk, the Miles for Smiles runathon benefiting the HSC-BCD’s Social Services Dental Care Fund, the Student National Dental Association’s Oral Cancer Walk and the Texas Association of Women Dentists participation in the Komen Dallas Race for the Cure. The Asian-American Student Dental Association provided a free dental and oral cancer screening and sealant event, and the Psi Omega fraternity and the Student National Dental Association sponsored a food drive for the East Dallas Food Pantry.

SERVING AS A LEADER IN HEALTH 18

SERVING AS A LEADER IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION Faculty Leadership in Professional Organizations- A survey of the HSC-BCD faculty members (84 responses) in December 2010 confirmed that they were leading their professions. Faculty members were actively contributing to the knowledge base of dentistry and providing future direction for dental education, research and professional service. Editors and Reviewers of Journals- At least 48 faculty members served either as editors or reviewers of professional journals. The average number of journals on which they served was two, with a range of one to twelve. Officers of Professional Organizations- At least 25 faculty members served as officers of professional organizations at the local, state or national levels. Committee/Council Members of Professional Organizations- At least 38 faculty members served on the committees and councils of professional organizations. Consultants to the Commission on Dental Accreditation- At least eight faculty members performed work for the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Some served as site visitors at dental schools to evaluate whether or not the programs met accreditation standards (n=4). Others served on peer review committees (n=2) and/or as commissioners (n=3). Specialty Board Certification Examinations- At least eight faculty members served on specialty board certification examinations as examiners. National Board Test Construction- At least four faculty members served on National Board Test Construction Committees, constructing the National Board Examinations. Grant Reviewers- At least nine faculty members served as grant reviewers for the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (n=3), other National Institutes of Health agencies (n=3), Clinical and Translational Science Awards (n=1), the HSC VP Research Grants (n=1) and others (n=2). ADEA Leadership Institute- Each year 15-20 dental or dental hygiene faculty members are chosen to become fellows of the Leadership Institute of the American Dental Education Association. The ADEA Leadership Institute is a year-long program designed to develop the nation’s most promising individuals at dental institutions to become future leaders in dental and higher education. During this program, fellows experience an intensive assessment of their leadership potential, enhance their leadership skills and conduct a group project with national scope. HSC-BCD has sent seven fellows to the Leadership Institute since 2002: Drs. Ann McCann, Gary Coleman, Robert Cederberg, Lavern Holyfield, Miles Beach, Steve Griffin and Ernie Lacy. 19

Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine Program- Dr. Rena Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza was one of 53 senior women faculty named in July to the 2009-2010 class of fellows in the Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program for Women at Drexel University College of Medicine. ELAM is the only national program dedicated to preparing senior women faculty for leadership at academic health centers. The new fellows represented 49 medical, dental and public health schools. Dr. D'Souza started the program in September 2009 and successfully completed it in April 2010. She achieved new competencies in personal, professional and leadership effectiveness, strategic finance and organizational dynamics. The latter included learning about leadership approaches and responsibilities within the organizational structure.

Kellogg/ADEA Comprehensive Dental Faculty Development Program- HSC-BCD was one of seven dental schools in the United Summer 2010 Summer 2009 States to be awarded the Kellogg/ADEA Comprehensive Dental Faculty Development Program (2004-2009). Grant funding was to be used primarily for direct educational assistance to increase the number of underrepresented minority students recruited to and entering dental academic careers and to establish academic partnerships that facilitate advanced training and career development. At HSC-BCD, the funds were used to pay for the tuition of selected graduate students who were interested in teaching. In exchange, the students committed to teach at a dental school after graduation for the number of years they were funded. Four students have graduated so far and all entered academics upon completion of the program. Celeste Abraham

Using Assessment for Institutional Effectiveness & Improvement- HSC-BCD has established itself as a leader in institutional effectiveness, a process of improving an organization based on evidence collected through assessment. Planning and assessment occurs on two levels at the college, at the institutional level with annual progress reports by strategic plan leaders and at the departmental-office level with annual assessment reports. These detailed reports are found in the Appendix. The following section highlights some ways that assessment was used at the College last year. Â&#x161; National Presentations- Drs. Ann McCann, N Sue Seale and Barbara Miller presented a presidential symposium at the 2010 ADEA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC entitled Changing Institutional Culture Through Planning & Assessment. This presentation highlighted how planning and assessment have improved programs at HSC-BCD. Drs. Ann McCann and Robert Hinton presented a Lunch and Learn workshop 20

at the same meeting entitled Creating the Future for Your Dental School through Strategic Planning and Assessment. They presented the planning and assessment practices of HSC-BCD to the participants. Electronic Course Evaluations- A new electronic course evaluation system was implemented at HSC-BCD called CoursEval. This system has several advantages over PICA, the previously used Texas A&M University system. With CoursEval, all evaluated faculty members, both full and part-time, can access their own results, using their BCD passwords. Electronic Process for Strategic Planning & Assessment- The HSC implemented a new electronic system for strategic planning and assessment called TracDat. The HSC-BCD strategic plan was entered into the system in June 2010, and results were requested of strategic plan leaders in September 2010. This system will greatly facilitate entering results and report creation. Staff Satisfaction Survey- A team of Planning & Assessment Committee members and volunteer staff developed an HSC-BCD Staff Satisfaction Survey that was administered in March 2010. The results were presented at two Staff Forum meetings. Dr. Cole presented an action plan for addressing the results at the October 2010 meeting. Student Satisfaction- All dental and dental hygiene students annually complete the Student Quality Survey to assess their satisfaction with how they were treated by the various departments at the college. In May 2010, 97 percent of the dental and dental hygiene students were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the quality of their personnel interactions with College units (35/36). The level of dissatisfaction at the college was very low, with 91 percent of the units (33/36) having less than five percent of the students dissatisfied with their personnel interactions. Another measure of student satisfaction is derived from the Dental and Dental Hygiene Graduation Surveys administered to graduating students in May 2010. Ninety-four percent of the graduating dental students and 100 percent of the dental hygiene students were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their education at HSC-BCD.

SEEKING INNOVATIONS IN SCIENCE, EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE DELIVERY Advanced Technology Clinic- The Department of General Dentistry developed the Advanced Technology Clinic, an innovative clinic-within-a-clinic that opened at the start of the 2007 fall semester. The purpose of this clinic is to provide fourth-year dental students with experience in a contemporary dental clinic setting prior to transitioning into private practice. All fourth-year students have multiple opportunities to utilize the clinic. The Baylor Oral Health Foundation provided a $250,000 grant in 2005 to create the clinic. Located within the third-floor main clinic, the Advanced Technology Clinic has five operatories equipped with the latest instruments and equipment including a newly acquired microscope to assist with dental restorations. Each operatory features two monitors, an intraoral camera, digital radiography, an integrated electronic patient management system, electric handpieces, a state-of-the-art chair providing multiple access points to the patient and patient education programs. Also available in the clinic are an optical impression system that allows digital capture of preparations, thus avoiding traditional impression-taking, and milling units that can create a CAD-CAM restoration within an hour. To ensure the currency of the technology, the contributing companies agreed to upgrade or replace their equipment at least every 18 months. Sim Man in Oral Surgery- “Sim Man,” a full-size, lifelike manikin, joined Baylor College of Dentistry this year. He provides very realistic instruction for students in the Medical Emergencies courses, 8500 and 4110. The Baylor Oral Health Foundation purchased the $50,000 manikin, and facilities services personnel created a true-to-life operatory setup. Third-year dental students and senior dental hygiene students–about 130 in all–took the medical emergencies course last summer and began rotating in groups of four through the Sim Man operatory in the fall. Graduate oral surgery and periodontic residents holding anesthesia permits will begin anesthesiarelated emergency simulation exercises in the spring. Grant Support- In 2009-2010, 68 grants were submitted and 22 were funded for a funding rate of 32 percent. The total research expenditures for the year were $4,261,950 (direct and indirect funds). Office of Technology Development- The Office of the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies added an Office of Technology Development in 2006 with Dr. Lynne Opperman as the first director. The goal of the office is to increase the development of intellectual properties within the College and increase the amount of sponsored research done with industry. This program is in line with the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents adding patent application and research commercialization to the criteria for tenure. There were seven new faculty disclosures in 2007, eight in 2008 and five in 2009. Two joint disclosures were submitted in 2009 with Southern Methodist University and University of Texas at Houston. One patent was licensed in 2010. Ten grant proposals were submitted in 2007, 14 in 2008 and 14 in 2009. Eleven proposals were funded (8 in 2008), generating $388,371 ($154,843 in 2008) in direct costs and $194,316 ($39,176 in 2008) in facilities and administrative costs for total costs of $581,647 ($194,010 in 2008). 22

Transition to Banner Information System- While the general person and financial aid modules of Banner went live earlier in 2009, the course inventory, scheduling, registration and academic records modules went live in the fall. These modules included the migration of student data from fall 2001 forward, the ability to print transcripts from Banner and scheduling of courses through Banner. In addition, the self-service modules of Banner went live as well. For the first time ever, students on the Dallas campus were empowered to print their schedule, print an unofficial copy of their transcript and view grades at their convenience from any computer. Faculty were also able to post grades via the web and received training on this procedure. This period also saw the unification of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board enrollment reports. In the past, each campus had to run their own reports from their respective systems and concatenate the data. With Banner, the HSC can run one report for the entire institution rather than for each location. Personnel at the Baylor College of Dentistry were instrumental in meeting the go-live goals, not only of Banner, but of COGNOS, the reporting tool attached to Banner. Their leadership made it possible to go live not only with the student system, but with the reporting tool as well. While scanning of legacy documents is ongoing, the Banner Document Management System was also implemented in FY 2010. This tool will allow the institution to move away from the use of paper documents and to have a reliable storage mechanism for historical documents.

DEPARTMENT/OFFICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

DEPARTMENT/OFFICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS This section describes significant accomplishments by HSC-BCD departments and offices.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS APT Decisions- During the 2009-2010 academic year, the HSC-BCD Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee made 15 decisions about faculty members. Seven decisions were for promotion and tenure, six for post-tenure review and two for appointments. This office initiated the APT process, and prepared the faculty dossiers. It also facilitated the reviews by the external evaluators, department review committees, department chairs and College and HSC APT committees. CODA- This office is in charge of preparing the self-study document for the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and arranging the site visit for October 2011. A steering committee of 11 individuals was appointed to oversee the writing of the self-study document, and 17 subcommittees were also appointed to help with this effort. Three drafts of the document have been prepared by the subcommittee chairs and reviewed by Dr. Berry and other individuals. Curriculum Committee- Several activities related to the 2011 CODA self-study were accomplished, including the response to standards 2.3 – 2.11, assistance in the explanation and management of new standard 2.26, re-formatting of a succinct CODA-friendly syllabus format for all courses, review and contemporization of the course-competency-assessment database and special D1-D4 course reviews. A phased series of Public Health Sciences curricular changes (previously involving 6520, 6690, 6860, 7330 and 7400) was completed with the deletion of 8020 and the modification of 8140. A report on implant cases was completed, indicating a continued increase in student implant activity with over $109,000 generated in fees. There were several Curriculum Action Forms approved (6570, 8020 and 9200). The new course 9200 Comprehensive Care for the Medically Compromised and Special Needs Patients was implemented into the D4 curriculum to further support CODA standard 2.26, as well as the D4 special care rotation and optimal management of our patients. Faculty Development Committee- The Faculty Development Committee conducted a calibration session for 54 faculty members on June 22, 2010. The topic was “Quality Assessment of Student Performance.” The Committee also planned and conducted two retreats last year. The first half day mini-retreat, “2011 CODA Accreditation,” was held on November 24, 2009 and attended by 45 individuals. The second all-day retreat, “Web 2.0 and Education 2.0: Implications for Dental Education,” presented by Dr. Elaine Demps, was held on January 7, 2010 and attended by 66 individuals.

Media Resources Classroom Technology- Educational technology continues to bring changes in the way we educate our students. Lecture capture with Camtasia software is a big hit with the students. Media Resources successfully processed over 800 hours of lecture material in 2009-2010. Continuing efforts to go green, all rooms now use rechargeable batteries. Print Shop- In 2009, faculty-produced color manuals were printed by the new Production Color Copier in the print shop. The print shop also added three new low volume color copy machines for departmental use on several floors of the college. Yearbook- The Baylor Burr yearbook also went all color for the first time in its history. The book was a sellout. Photo Store- Media was once again responsible for taking those all important graduation photos. Students and family members could view proofs and order photos directly from the new online Photo Store which debuted with the new BCD website. They also had the opportunity to purchase a DVD video of the event and to post a video of their walk across the stage to YouTube for friends and family to see. Posters and Table Clinics- Faculty and students created 84 posters and table clinics with the assistance of Media Resources personnel. Planning & Assessment Committee- The Planning & Assessment Committee completed a review of the 2009 strategic plan progress reports. This report is available on the intranet site at: http://exchange.bcd.tamhsc.edu/intranet/Documents/strategicplan.htm The committee also conducted several assessment projects, as listed below. The 2010 Dental Student Graduation Survey report is available at: http://exchange.bcd.tamhsc.edu/intranet/Departments/AcademicAffairs/Surveys.html The 2010 Staff Satisfaction Survey report is available at: http://exchange.bcd.tamhsc.edu/intranet/Departments/AcademicAffairs/Surveys/ StaffSatisfactionSurveyResultsWithCommentSummary2010.pdf. SACS- The Texas A&M HSC is engaged in a regional accreditation reaffirmation effort with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The academic deans from each component are responding to the 17 academic standards and providing information for other self study standards. The second phase of the accreditation process involves a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) project that focuses on evidence-based decision making. The site visit by the SACS evaluators will occur in early spring 2012.

BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES Curriculum- The evidence-based dentistry initiative is becoming more established in the curriculum with the addition of the D2 course, 7400 Application of Evidence-Based Dentistry. Integrative Sciences (6570) is successfully teaching students how to evaluate cases using their basic science knowledge for diagnosis and treatment planning. 26

Bioengineering- With the hiring of Dr. Xiaohua Liu, the department and HSC-BCD now have a faculty member with bioengineering expertise, who will collaborate with clinical faculty on translational research projects. Research funding- Research funding remained strong with 40 new and continuation grants submitted; funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) supported seven grant applications. Junior faculty members have begun to attract funding; Dr. Douglas Benson was awarded an NIH R03 grant in spring 2010. Publications/Presentations- The department has continued to produce a substantial number of published articles (about 100) and presentations at scientific meetings (87 abstracts submitted). DDS/PhD Program- Interest in the DDS/PhD program was created by faculty presentations given to the dental applicants when they came to interview.

CLINICAL AFFAIRS Instrument Leasing Program- As a result of student and class interviews, errors in pre-clinical leasing kits have been identified and corrected and specific dispensing procedures have been altered. Significant organizational structure changes were made in the Office of Clinical Affairs for clinical and student instrument services and patient services which capitalized on current technology. This resulted in more efficient service with fewer employees. Radiological Task Force- The results of the last two yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; task force led to the current first floor renovations and future relocation of the Imaging Center. Renovations- The design and implementation of a three phase renovation project on the first floor was initiated in May 2010. This renovation capitalized on opportunities realized through elimination of hallways and the record room and downsizing the office staff. Its completion will include a new office suite for the Office of Clinical Affairs, an increase in the number of Oral Diagnosis/Screening operatories and a new state of the art Radiology/Imaging Center. Screening Process Updated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A more efficient method of scheduling screening appointments resulted in a decreased number of no-shows and cancellations as patients were seen within one week of scheduling. In addition, a panoramic x-ray was obtained at the appointment which provided a more accurate assessment of patient needs resulting in more efficient student assignment. 27

COMMUNICATIONS & INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT Expanding Communication Network- The department is increasing the reach of College-related and alumni news through a multifaceted approach that incorporates print and video content distributed through various communication outlets, such as the online newsletter, website, magazine and social networking sites (Facebook and Twitter). Website Redesign- The overall BCD website was redesigned in graphical presentation, layout and navigation consistent with the main HSC site. New sites were launched in June 2010. Website Update- The department administered updates to the content on the more than 500 pages of the BCD public website. Fund-Raising- The FY10 development (fund-raising) goal was exceeded.

CONTINUING EDUCATION & ALUMNI AFFAIRS Faculty Presentations- The number of faculty members presenting continuing education programs at the College is progressing very well. Online Payment- The method of payment for continuing education courses is now primarily online with a major credit card. Donations- Donations have increased from last year, despite difficult market conditions. Off Campus Course for Alumni- The continuing education program for alumni occurs once each year in November.

DENTAL HYGIENE Competency Curriculum Review- The program completed a course and curriculum review with respect to the existing Competency Document. Based on this review, competencies supported by courses and methods of evaluation were documented. The report was reviewed by the dental hygiene faculty. No changes to the Competency Document were recommended. No Curriculum Action Forms were recommended. Clinical board and written examination outcomes were excellent. WREB- The clinical board outcomes of the program remained excellent with 90 percent of the students passing. Presentations- Posters were presented at the American Dental Hygienistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association meeting as well as presentations at state and national meetings. 28

DIAGNOSTIC SCIENCES Presentations- The faculty provided over 30 invited lectures/continuing education courses externally last year. Distance Education- Some faculty members are teaching the dental students at A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Dentistry by distance education. Services- The Biopsy Service and Imaging Center are a significant resource to the practicing community as well as patients and departments of BCD

ENDODONTICS National Boards- D4 students performed above the national average in endodontics on the National Board Examination. In service training- Hands-on training was provided for both D3 and general dentistry faculty on diagnostic terms, vital pulp therapy and making post space in teeth that have carrier-based obturation.

FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Securing Funding- The office secured recurring dollars for a 3% merit pool. It also secured $2.5M in funding for special projects, upgraded facilities, and research. College reserves grew by 52%.

GENERAL DENTISTRY Course Revision- The 9030 Diagnosis and Treatment Planning course for the D4 students was completely revised and enhanced. Advanced Technology Clinic- A microscope was obtained for the Advanced Technology Clinic.

LIBRARY Collection Development Plan- A team of librarians revised the Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collection Development Plan. This will allow the Library to launch a major print weeding project in FY11. Response to Survey- In response to a student survey, the Library began allowing food in group study areas, while keeping the Quiet Study Room free of food by student request.

ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY Simulation Lab- The SimMan lab construction was completed, and the SimMan was installed.

PATIENT CIRCUMSTANCES

Research Awards- Drs. Hideki Ikeda and Cody Moore, orthodontic residents, won Graber research awards, which represented two of the five total research awards given each year by the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). They received these awards at the AAO meeting in Washington, DC, May 2010 and also presented their results there.

Evidence is one of several factors that may be incorporated into the clinical decision-making process.

Thesis Publications- Three of six Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theses were accepted for publication, and the other three have been submitted. Publications- Department members published two book chapters, 23 peer-reviewed publications and eight abstracts in the Journal of Dental Research. Faculty Presentations- Faculty members presented at the following: American Association of Orthodontists Conference, the IADR/AADR meeting, the 4th Annual World Micro Implant Congress, the Angle International Biennial Meeting, the 37th Annual Moyers Symposium and the XVII Congreso Internacial Asociacion Iberoamericana de Orthodontistos. CODA Consultants- Two faculty members were appointed as consultants to the Commission on Dental Accreditation to review U.S. graduate orthodontic programs.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY Highest Score on National Examination- One recent graduate, Dr. Thane Hisaw, made the highest score of all candidates taking the Oral Clinical Exam of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Previously, Dr. Hisaw had scored in the top 3% for the written portion of the board certification process. Poster Competition- A graduate student won 3rd place in the poster competition at the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry meeting in Chicago. Leadership Training- Dr. Caroline Kerins was selected to attend the three-year Leadership Institute in conjunction with the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry/Kellogg School of Management.

PERIODONTICS Paperless Clinic- The Stomatology Clinic is now paperless. All new records are in Axium as well as all digital photographs, and they are on a server for retrieval. Clinic Revenues- Clinic revenues have increased dramatically since the new implant suite was placed in the Periodontics graduate clinic. Revenues achieved were 150% over the budgeted goals for the fiscal year. More patient care was provided in this facility with no increase in staffing. Research Award for Stomatology- Clinical research in Stomatology has been recognized by the NIDCR through awarding of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salivary Researcher of the Yearâ&#x20AC;? in 2009 to Dr. Ibtisam Al-Hashimi, Director of the Salivary Dysfunction Clinic. This marks the first time this award has been given to a woman in this field. Scholarly Activity- The faculty has remained active in scholarly activity, giving 15 presentations at national or international conferences and having 18 publications during this academic year.

PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCES Editing the Texas Dental Journal- Dr. K. Vendrell Rankin edited the June issue of the Texas Dental Journal, which focused on oral cancer and management of cancer treatment sequelae. Kwanzaa Fest- Public Health Sciences coordinated the BCD volunteer effort at Kwanzaa Fest for the first time. This will become an annual event for the department. Tarrant County Back To School Roundup- Public Health Sciences coordinated BCD volunteers at the first Tarrant County Back To School Roundup, an event similar to the Dallas Mayor's Back To School Fair. 31

RECRUITMENT & ADMISSIONS Diversity- The underrepresented minority enrollment of the 2010 D1 class reflected the diversity of Texas. There were six African-American male students in the new class of 102 students.

RESEARCH & GRADUATE STUDIES Accreditation Self-Studies- The office oversaw the CODA self-study process for two graduate programs along with Dr. William Nagy; they received approval. The office is continuing to oversee the CODA self-study process (writing some parts) with Dr. Nagy for eight other graduate dental programs. The office also compiled the research section of the CODA self-study document for the predoctoral dental program. Finally, the office is editing the HSC-BCD portion of the SACS self study for the School of Graduate Studies program in Biomedical Sciences with Dr. Svoboda.

Question: What is a CAT? Answer: CAT stands for Critically Assessed Topic, a way of summarizing a question, the search process (e.g., keywords), its results, and the best evidence found by the search

Grant Writing- Dr. Larry Bellinger worked with Dr. Lynne Opperman and clinical faculty members on the submission of NIH grants. Dr Francisco Rivera received $299,000 for a R43 subcontract for a clinical trial, and Dr. Kathy Svoboda received $100,000 from a company for a translational study. Dr. Bellinger also worked with Dr. Robert Spears to have one of the largest Predoctoral Research Training Fellowship programs to date with 30 students presenting at the spring AADR national meeting (tied for largest number of students presenting from one school) and 38 students participating in the 2010 summer program. Grant Support- In 2009-2010, 68 grants were submitted and 22 were funded for a funding rate of 32 percent. The total research expenditures for the year were $4,261,950 (direct and indirect funds).

RESTORATIVE SCIENCES Implants- The undergraduate Implant program has undergone a significant improvement due to a change in location. Previously located in a small first floor clinic next to Oral Diagnosis, the Implant Clinic has been relocated to the third floor main clinic area. The small lab used for fabrication of radiographic and surgical stints was also moved and is located conveniently across the hall from the clinical component. Access of students to implant faculty has been improved dramatically. The implant faculty now has immediate access to cases in progress in the main clinic. The new clinic consists of a treatment planning area with computers and an ample work surface for examination of mounted casts and radiographs. There is one clinical chair dedicated to patient examination with radiographic capability. 32

Evidence-Based Dentistry- The College received an NIH R25 grant for the introduction of evidence-based dentistry (EBD) concepts into the curriculum. This occurred three years ago, and two courses in D1 and D2 have been created to further that goal. The goal is to implement these concepts throughout all four years of the undergraduate program. Restorative Science has provided faculty to assist in the small group sessions that are part of the D2 Application of Evidence Based Dentistry I course (7400), and eight faculty members have participated in an intensive course in EBD over the past two years. Restorative Sciences faculty members have taken the lead in creating case based scenarios that are designed to continue the implementation of EBD into the D3 curriculum. Group leaders in the 8034 Comprehensive Care program, along with basic science faculty members, act as facilitators in small group meetings where the students present the results of evidence searches to support treatment decisions based on case scenarios. Plans are being made to incorporate EBD into the D3 spring semester 8034 Comprehensive Care Treatment Planning sessions. This is most likely to occur in 2012. Department Merger- In March of 2010, the Department of Biomaterials Science was merged into the Department of Restorative Sciences. This included transfer of a sizable physical facility and a large inventory of equipment, as well as personnel and faculty. The new division of Restorative Sciences is located on the first floor of the Sciences Building. Beyond the planning and implementation of new policies and protocols, there has been an ongoing cooperative effort with the department of Biomedical Sciences to develop a plan for space sharing within the building. Future plans for this new division of Restorative Sciences include participation in the College’s emphasis on developing translational research.

STUDENT AFFAIRS Banner Implementation- Students are now using the Group Studio for organization communication. Other online services have been implemented, and students can access their academic information 24/7.

STRATEGIC PLAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS

STRATEGIC PLAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS This section highlights accomplishments from HSC-BCD’s 2009 Revision of the 2005-2012 Strategic Plan. The number in parentheses at the end of each accomplishment identifies the specific objective that is being addressed. This information represents the fifth reporting of progress on the 2005-2012 strategic plan and the second reporting of the 2009 revision of that plan. A number of the objectives from the original plan in 2005 have been achieved.

GOAL 1. EDUCATION Baylor College of Dentistry is committed to providing educational programs that prepare its students to be dentists, dental hygienists, dental specialists, educators and scientists, while fostering professionalism, critical thinking and commitment to life-long learning. National Board & WREB Performance- The dental students had a 95 percent first-time pass rate on the National Board Examination Part I, 74 percent on Part II and 87 percent on the WREB. Dental hygiene students excelled with a 100 percent pass rate on the National Board Examination and 90 percent on the WREB. (objective 1.1) Implant Curriculum- Within the D4 class, 91 percent had some type of implant experience. Production from implants has increased from $5,248 in 2005-2006 to $109,166 in 2009-2010. (objective 1.2) Competency-Based Curriculum Review- The competency database is in the final stages of refinement and was reviewed by a subcommittee of the Curriculum Committee in October 2010. (objective 1.3) Continuing Education- For the 2009-2010 year, the office offered 37 traditional courses with 2,755 participants and 10 distance education courses with 322 participants. The number of online courses sold were 322 for the year and 27 per month. The number of of Camtasia presentations sold per month was 27. (objective 1.10) Exploring Dental Academia Course- To date, four classes have participated in this summer elective course. Eighteen students participated in summer 2010. One student in this class has indicated intent to teach. (objective 1.11R) Developing Evidence-Based Thinking- As a continuation of our introduction of EBD content into the DDS curriculum one year at a time, an EBD module was included in a critical thinking case scenario required of all D3 students during case conferences. Each scenario dealt with a challenging issue bearing on treatment; as part of this exercise, students were asked to evaluate the evidence for an issue pertinent to the scenario. This represents our initial effort to translate EBD knowledge learned in the D1-D2 years into a clinical context. Our summer course, “Fundamentals of Evidence-Based Dentistry for Clinical Faculty,” was attended by ten clinical faculty, up from 6 in 2009. Three speakers presented at the Clinical Colloquium in 2010, providing evidence-based updates on adhesive materials, implants, and CAD-CAM targeted to clinical faculty. Further transforming the Research Day from a 47

traditional basic science focus, presentations of Critically-Assessed Topics (CATs) by D2 students were added to case presentations by D3-D4 students introduced in 2009. In spring 2009, both EBD trained and non-trained students were assessed with the PEAK (practices, experiences, attitudes and knowledge) instrument, and the trained students scored higher than non-trained on the knowledge portion (p<.001). A focus group was also held for the faculty who participated in the summer training program to measure the effectiveness of their training. (objective 1.12R) Advanced Technology Clinic- All D4 students spend at least five days in this clinic. Fifty percent of the students were able to complete an indirect restoration in one session. Seventy-five percent used only optical impressions for indirect restorations. (objective 1.13R) Access to Care- About 50 students were certified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Dental Homeâ&#x20AC;? providers for the Texas Medicaid program in 2010. (objective 1.14R) E-Learning Resources- As of fall 2009, entering students are asked to bring a laptop as they enter school. Computer services loads software in the first week of school for student use in D1 courses. Blackboard utilization continues to grow. Ninety-six courses had material in Blackboard (49 in 08-09). Camtasia software utilization also continues to grow. Fifty-three courses (26 in 08-09) posted 836 recorded lectures online last year. (objective 1.15R) Faculty Pipeline with T32 Grant Program- There are three D.D.S./Ph.D. students funded by the NIH T32 grant. All three trainees submitted NRSA fellowships and have received promising scores. The hiring of two new bioengineering faculty will increase the mentor pool for these trainees. (objective 1.16R)

Dental students learn how to efficiently search the PubMed database for evidence. !"#$%&'($)*"#$('&"%+#',-.'$-'"/01"#$&2'("%+0,'$,"'3)45"*'*%$%4%("'6-+'"71*"#0"

GOAL 2. FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS, ALUMNI Baylor College of Dentistry is committed to recruiting, retaining, developing and investing in exemplary and diverse faculty, staff and students and to fostering strong alumni relations in an environment that is conducive to personal and professional growth. Kellogg/ADEA Comprehensive Dental Faculty Development Program- This grant program funds all the tuition for the selected graduate students who primarily are underrepresented minorities or from disadvantaged backgrounds. In exchange, the students commit to teach at a dental school after graduation for the number of years they were funded. The college has had four graduates, all of whom entered academics upon completion of the program. Three students are still enrolled in the program. (objective 2.1) Faculty Diversity- Eleven percent of both the full time faculty and all faculty members were underrepresented minorities. Thirty-eight percent of the full time faculty and 35 percent of all faculty members were women. (objective 2.1) Faculty Orientation- Seven faculty members attended the New Faculty Orientation in December 2010. Since its inception in 2005, 48 faculty members have participated in these sessions. (objective 2.2) Peer Review for Faculty- Since the program began in January 2006, 12 faculty members have completed the peer review process, having their teaching evaluated by fellow faculty members. Two faculty members participated in peer review of their teaching in 2007 (one lecture and one clinic), two in 2008 (lectures), six in 2009 (one clinic and five lectures) and two in 2010 (one lab and one clinic). Sixteen different consultants led these reviews (two-three per review). (objective 2.2) Diversity Pipeline- A number of Bridge to Dentistry programs have evolved at HSC-BCD to create a pipeline of potential dental students from culturally diverse and/or disadvantaged backgrounds. The following programs were very successful this year: In the K-12 Dental Career Awareness, 2,157 pre-K-6th-grade students and 501 7th-12th-grade students from the Dallas Independent School District participated in dental awareness events and counseling activities. Six Future Dentists Clubs (FDC) were established. Four were in elementary schools, and one was in a middle school. A city-wide FDC was established for high school students. Twenty-one 10th-graders, 21 11th-graders, 25 12th-graders, 12 high school graduates and 25 college students participated in summer predental enrichment programs. Sixteen students participated in the 2009-2010 Post-Baccalaureate Program. These students spent one year after college graduation in a rigorous curriculum focused on Dental Aptitude Test preparation and upper-division science courses. Students who met detailed performance criteria were accepted at HSC-BCD. Eleven of these students are now first-year dental students at HSC-BCD. Another 31 of these students are distributed throughout the D2-D4 classes here at the College. (objective 2.4) 49

Bridge to Dentistry Funding- The College’s Bridge to Dentistry program received a nearly $200,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on March 1, 2008. HSC-BCD was one of only eight dental schools selected to receive funding to improve diversity among the student body or increase access to dental care in underserved areas through community-based education. The grant ended May 30, 2010. The College’s Bridge to Dentistry program also received a Health Careers Opportunity Program grant for the project period of September 1, 2009 – August 31, 2012. The total amount of the grant award is $2,130,456. (objective 2.4) Diverse First Year Dental Class- For the entering dental class of 2010, there were 12 African American entrants and 26 Hispanic entrants. Underrepresented minorities (African American, Hispanic and Native American) made up 31 percent of the entire dental school and 37 percent of the first-year dental class. BCD’s 2010 entering dental class (2010-2011 D1 class) leads all traditional U.S. dental schools in diversity. The increase in diversity during the last several years is largely due to the Admissions Committee placing more emphasis on considering the entire student in a "whole-file review." Although the overwhelming criterion for admission is still academic achievement, a range of non-academic factors are considered in order to assemble a class of qualified students that is richly diverse in a variety of ways. (objective 2.4) Student Retention Strategies- Sixty-four students sought academic counseling in the 2009-2010 year. Forty-nine percent of the D1 students, 30 percent of the D2, 17 percent of D3 and D4 and four dental hygiene students sought personal counseling. Two additional students were offered outside professional services. Due to these efforts, 100 percent of dental students, 90 percent of first year dental hygiene and 100 percent of second year dental hygiene students were retained in the 2009-2010 year. (objective 2.5) Career Development Programs- Students had the opportunity to attend a number of professional meetings, including meetings of the American Dental Education Association, the American Student Dental Association, the Student National Dental Association and the Hispanic Dental Association. Student attendance at professional functions was quite high: 100 percent at the Texas Dental Association (TDA) D1 luncheon, 80 percent at the TDA Junior Luncheon, 86 percent at the TDA Senior Evening and 100 percent at the American Dental Association Success Seminars (objective 2.6) Faculty Salaries- Sixty-two percent of the full-time faculty were at or above the ADEA median for salaries in 2008. This was above the target of 57 percent. Another analysis will be conducted in December 2010. (objective 2.8R) Recruitment of Clinical Research Faculty - While the goal is to have a DDS/PhD faculty member in every department, only eight of the eleven departments have such an individual. One of the three without one has a PhD faculty member and another has a very active research program with several DDS-MS faculty members. There are three faculty members with M.D. degrees and 19 with PhD only. (objective 2.9R) Great Expectations Program- This mentoring program is a collaboration between HSC-BCD and the Texas Section of the International College of Dentists (ICD). Mentoring is done within groups, each with an ICD leader, faculty mentors, and D1, D3 and D4 members. Ninety-five percent of the D1 class participated in the Ice Cream Social and 85-90 percent attended the Dallas County Dental Society meeting. This program has been adopted by UT Houston and UT San Antonio dental schools, and other schools are considering adoption. (objective 2.10R)

Staff Retreat- The Staff Development Committee planned and presented the fourth Staff Development Day on January 5, 2010. The topics included nutrition, getting along with co-workers, managing high-maintenance patients and generational issues in the workplace. The event was attended by approximately 120 staff members. (objective 2.11R)

GOAL 3. RESEARCH Baylor College of Dentistry is committed to expanding the research culture of the College to ensure that its research activities contribute to the understanding of basic biological and pathological processes and are translated into advances in patient care. Grant Support- In 2009-2010, 68 grants were submitted and 22 were funded for a funding rate of 32 percent. The total research expenditures for the year were $4,261,950 (direct and indirect funds). (objective 3.1) Training for Junior Faculty- In December 2009, Dr. John Ivy presented a day-long seminar at the college on grant writing. Twenty HSC-BCD faculty members attended the general seminar, and eight faculty members later had individual conferences with Dr. Ivy about grants they were going to submit. (objective 3.2) Clinical Research Projects- The College has eight clinical grants (Drs. Ajlouni [2], Glickman, Grogan/Sharma, He, Rivera-Hidalgo, Triplett and Kerins/Viswanathan). Three departments have senior faculty members funded by large NIH grants (Diagnostic Sciences, Orthodontics and Periodontics). (objective 3.2) Southwestern Medical School Clinical Research Program- Dr. Perry has finished the program, and Dr. Komabayashi is in the third year of the K12 program (Clinical Research Career Development Program) with UT Southwestern Medical School. (objective 3.2) Summer Research Program- Dental students have the opportunity to work on a research project with a faculty member in the summer following their first year in the dental program. In summer 2010, 34 students participated in the program. The BCD Student Research Group has had a student elected to an officer position within the AADR National Student Research Group each year since 2003. Another student was elected to a leadership position at the 2010 AADR meeting. Twenty-seven students presented papers at the 2010 AADR meeting and one at the ADEA meeting, both held in Washington DC. Seven students presented at the 2010 Hinman National Student Research Symposium in Memphis. 51

Two students received an NIDCR Summer Research Fellowship. In this program, they conduct research with NIDCR and other National Institutes of Health researchers in Bethesda, Md., for eight weeks. (objective 3.3) Commercialization of Dental-Related Inventions- There were two speakers on commercialization at HSC-BCD last year. Also, eight collaborations between faculty and industry have occurred. There were seven new faculty disclosures in 2007, eight in 2008 and five in 2009. Two joint disclosures were submitted with Southern Methodist University in 2009 and one with UT Houston. One patent was licensed in 2010. Ten grant proposals were submitted in 2007, 14 in 2008 and 14 in 2009. Eleven proposals were funded (8 in ’08), generating $388,371 ($154,843 in ’08) in direct costs and $194,316 ($39,176 in ’08) in facilities and administrative costs for total costs of $581,647 ($194,010 in ‘08). (objective 3.4R) BCD Clinical Research Program- In 2006, the Dean implemented the Clinical Research Program that allows for release time for clinical faculty to do research. Since then, eight faculty members (Drs. Celeste Abraham, Stan Ashworth, Jenny He, Ben Meyrat, Susan Roshan, Margaret Yanus, Miles Beach and Susan Hummel) have participated in the program. Five scholars presented findings at the IADR Meeting in Barcelona, July 2010. The Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies continues to support these junior clinical faculty members’ research with $10,000 grants. (objective 3.5R) Pathway to Excellence Seminar Series- Since the program started in 2007, HSC-BCD has hosted 19 speakers. In winter/spring 2010, three speakers were hosted. The presentations were rated highly for relevance and currency in faculty evaluations. As of September 2010, five faculty members have reported a total of eight collaborations resulting from these visiting speakers. (objective 3.6R) North/Central Clinical and Translational Science Initiative- Two HSC-BCD faculty members participated in the Clinical Scholars program during the 2009-2010 year. More than five faculty members have received statistical help at the UT Southwestern Medical School. (objective 3.7R)

GOAL 4. PATIENT CARE Baylor College of Dentistry is committed to providing quality care in an environment that is sensitive to the needs of each patient. Quality Assurance- The comprehensive quality assurance program continues to provide results that lead to improvement. On post-treatment reviews, only 5 percent needed re-treatment (target of ≤10 percent). On audited patient records, 32 percent were deficient with two or more errors (target ≤40 percent). On the Patient Satisfaction Survey, 98 percent rated their satisfaction as “very good.” The total number of injuries/exposures was higher than targeted at 63 (target <50) as well as the number of patient complaints, 262 (target <250). Both of these deficiencies will be discussed at the Annual Quality Assurance Meeting. (objective 4.3) Central Sterilization & Instrument Leasing Program- In conjunction with a new facility for the central sterilization of clinic instruments, an instrument leasing program was fully implemented in August 2009. As a result of student and class interviews, errors in pre-clinical leasing kits have been identified and corrected, and specific dispensing procedures have been altered. Significant organizational structure changes were made in the Office of Clinical Affairs for clinical and student instrument services and patient services capitalizing on current technology. This resulted in more efficient service with fewer employees. (objectives 4.6R & 4.7R) 52

GOAL 5. OUTREACH Baylor College of Dentistry is committed to providing outreach programs for the benefit of the community and the state. Elective Community-Based Experience for Dental Students- Seventy-four students in the D4 class selected a Community Preceptor Program course in summer 2010. Eight students did dual preceptor programs. Under the guidance of 57 preceptor dentists, they treated patients in various clinics, including the Indian Health Service, the Public Health Service’s Community-Oriented Primary Care clinics and Federally Qualified Health Centers. They also observed treatment management in various group and solo practices. (objective 5.1) Dental Students in the Community- In the D3 year, dental students are required to plan and conduct two educational presentations at such sites as elementary schools, community colleges, nursing homes and senior citizen centers. Last year, D3 students provided education to 6,074 people at 68 different events. In the D4 year, students are required to provide oral health screenings and/or treatment at two community sites. Last year, D4 students treated 970 patients at 97 community dental clinics, screened 13,491 people at 46 health fairs and screened 650 students at 2 schools. As part of the Community Dentistry Externship (9080), D4 students spend up to 10 days on rotations through the Juvenile Detention Center, Community Dental Care’s Vickery Meadow dental clinic and the Dallas County Sealant Initiative. At the Juvenile Detention Center, students provide emergency and restorative care to children ages 5-18. At Vickery Meadow, students treat both adults and children. In the Sealant Initiative, students place sealants on DISD second-grade students. In the academic year 2009-2010, students treated 1,727 patients at the Juvenile Detention Center, 1,419 at the Vickery Meadow and other Community Dental Care clinics and 990 as part of the Dallas County Sealant Initiative. (objective 5.1) Dental Hygiene Students in the Community- As part of Public Health/ Community Health (4530), second-year dental hygiene students educate the public on oral health through various outlets in the community including health fairs, elementary schools, PTA functions, Dallas Dental Hygienists’ Society events and HSC-BCD Sealant Days. The students are required to make two school site visits and participate in at least two dental health-related community service activities. They also are asked to identify an “at risk” community, assess its needs and provide education, as part of a final project for the course. This final project encourages the students to provide services in diverse areas such as nursing homes, teen pregnancy centers, juvenile detention centers and diabetes outpatient clinics. In the academic year 2009-2010, dental hygiene students provided oral health education outreach to approximately 3,710 individuals in the community. (objective 5.1) 53

Service to the Community- The total number of people impacted in the external community (educated, treated or helped in some way) by HSC-BCD students is 38,694. When faculty grant endeavors are added to this number, the total number of individuals impacted in the larger community is 295,385. (objective 5.1) Mayor’s Back to School Fair- The Mayor’s Back to School Fair was held August 5, 2010, at the Fair Park Centennial Building in Dallas. The fair was free for Dallas school children from low-income families. By visiting four categories of service providers during the event, the children received free school supplies. Seventy-one student, faculty, and staff volunteers from HSC-BCD were involved in treating 1,300 K-6th-grade children. Clinicians provided quick “flashlight exams,” fluoride varnish and referrals for further treatment if needed. Spanish translators were available to convey to parents what was seen during the mini screenings. Former Dallas Mayor Laura Miller personally invited HSC-BCD to participate six years ago, and the College’s services have become an integral and valued part of the event. Other than immunizations, the HSC-BCD booth is the only one that performs a service that immediately benefits the children. (objective 5.4R) Crystal Charities Funding for Southeast Dental Clinic-The Crystal Charity Ball awarded funding for a new dental clinic in Pleasant Grove. It will be operated by Community Dental Care and coordinated with HSC-BCD programs. Clinic operations are planned to begin in April 2011. (objective 5.5R)

GOAL 6. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT Baylor College of Dentistry is committed to creating its future by developing new resources to support the goals of the College, to enhance its reputation and to plan a state-of-the-art dental school. Fund Raising- The HSC-BCD fund raising goal for FY 2010 was $1.075 million. The actual funds received, $2.03 million, exceeded this goal. (objective 6.3R) Web Profile- The public launch of the new HSC-BCD website was on June 1, 2010. There was a 15.64 percent increase in visitors per day on the website. There was also an overall performance rating of 90 percent as compared with over 3 million websites previously evaluated for marketing effectiveness, including social media.The latter is measured by the Hubspot Website Grader and indicates the social networking capabilities of the site. (objective 6.4R) Collaborations with Health Care Institutions- Collaborations with the Baylor Research Institute and the biomedical sciences department have resulted in two scientific collaborations, two grant applications and three in-progress publications. (objective 6.5R) Transition to Banner Information System- While the general person and financial aid modules of Banner went live earlier in 2009, the course inventory, scheduling, registration and academic records modules went live in the fall. These modules included the migration of student data from fall 2001 forward, the ability to print transcripts from Banner and scheduling of courses through Banner. In addition, the self-service modules of Banner went live 54

as well. For the first time ever, students on the Dallas campus were empowered to print their schedule, print an unofficial copy of their transcript, and view their grades at their convenience from any computer. Faculty were also able to post grades via the web and received training on this procedure. This period also saw the unification of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board enrollment reports. In the past, each campus had to run their own reports from their respective systems and concatenate the data. With Banner, the HSC can run one report for the entire institution rather than for each location. Personnel at the Baylor College of Dentistry were instrumental in meeting the go-live goals, not only of Banner, but of COGNOS, the reporting tool attached to Banner. Their leadership made it possible to go live not only with the student system, but with the reporting tool as well. While scanning of legacy documents is ongoing, the Banner Document Management System was also implemented in FY 2010. This tool will allow the institution to move away from the use of paper documents and to have a reliable storage mechanism for historical documents. (objective 6.7R)
