SDM’s Preston Lutz, Class of 2027, received a grant to attend the SPEA (Student Professionalism and Ethics Association) Annual Meeting, in New Orleans. This was in an effort to establish a Chapter here at LECOM/SDM and the first of any dental school in Florida. SPEA is a student organization sponsored by the American College of Dentists, and, along with the Florida Section of the College, provided the $1000.00 grant.

Preston stated that the 2024 SPEA annual conference in New Orleans was an amazing experience from start to finish.

"Our Keynote speaker, Dr. Brett Kessler (ADA President Elect), gave a presentation on the state of dentistry. Specifically touching on how dental health has wide impacts on overall systemic health and the discrepancy between essential and non-essential care in the eyes of insurance. The example he used was that a hip replacement is considered essential, but a dental implant is not.

Breakout groups on how to grow a SPEA chapter, alternative careers in dentistry, and Imposter Syndrome. Alternative careers ranging from physically building dental practices to a dentist who had to retire due to a back injury starting a business buying and selling dental practices. The discussion on Imposter Syndrome was a big one for me. I often struggle to reconcile if I truly am living up to the expectations of my past self”.

I would describe my experience at the SPEA annual convention as overwhelmingly positive. I am extremely excited to start growing a chapter of SPEA at LECOM and cannot wait for next year’s annual conference in Washington DC."

At LECOM Bradenton, members from the Senior Living Center visited the School of Dental Medicine as apart of our LIGHT program. This program educates and trains students on geriatric sensitivity and how to work with older adults. Occupational and physical therapists taught students how to move from wheelchair to dental chair using sliding boards and pivot boards transfers, discuss diseases and transitions of older adults and ways to manage that in their practice for patients with cognitive, hearing, vision and dexterity deficits. The goal is for students to leave with understanding, sensitivity and empathy to older adults they will care for.
