Dr. Michael Noffze, DDS, MD, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and owner of OMS Associates, is the director of the Heartland Study Club — which hosted its kickoff educational year by inviting Colonel Mark Tillman to speak at the Fargo Air Museum on September 8. Tillman served as pilot and commander of Air Force One under President George W. Bush during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Nearly 100 members and their spouses listened to Colonel Tillman stress a message of teamwork as he spoke about his part in protecting President Bush.

Heartland Study Club has 55 members, both men and women, within a large geographical area from approximately Jamestown to Fergus Falls.

“About one third of Fargo area dentists are members of our study club,” Dr. Noffze said. “We try to deliver the best advanced dental education and offer continuing dental education credit hours to our members. We also work with dental staff members to provide them with CDE hours.”

Heartland Study Club strives to cultivate excellence in comprehensive dentistry. “We are dedicated professionals promoting communication and camaraderie. We invited Colonel Tillman because we wanted to honor the history of our nation and to remember sacrifices others have made that allow us to do what we love.” [AWM]
