Staff Profile, Linda Lipani

Registrar

When EIOH Registrar Linda Lipani arrived five years ago, she brought her skills from School of Medicine and Dentistry and reorganized operations to better align with the needs of dental residents, applicants and alumni. In the short time she’s been in this role, she has established a customer-focused office that performs a wide range of functions related to resident records and academic administration as well as admissions and resident support services. She has contributed significantly to increase the number of Master’s students and preceptors. She has invested the time to learn many states’ licensure requirements to help residents navigate through the often difficult process necessary to obtain dental licensure.

Throughout Covid, Linda was instrumental in the transition to online learning and she credits her team for their outstanding customer service, efficiency and accuracy.
