Dean and Mrs. Jeffrey W. Hutter along with Director of the Advanced Specialty Education Program in Endodontics Dr. Sami Chogle hosted an alumni reception Friday, May 2, 2014, during the Annual Session of the American Association of Endodontists. The Annual Session was held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, April 30–May 3, 2014. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Strive for Perfection.”

At the reception, Dr. Chogle thanked the alumni for all of their support and encouraged them to continue to visit the School to teach. He noted that alumni lectures demonstrate the strength of the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) alumni family to current residents and display the caliber of students we are now graduating to the alumni.

First-year resident Michael Crisanti and second-year resident Mey Alhabib spoke on behalf of the classes. They thanked the alumni not only for their financial support, but for lecturing and supporting them in taking their boards.

Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter said, “I am pleased to see such a strong showing of Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine Endodonticalumni at this Annual Session of the American Association for Endodontists.” He continued, “I truly appreciate your commitment and continued support of our School.”

Also during the Annual Session, Drs. Mark Desrosiers and Mohamed Kayali, both ENDO 06, became diplomates of the American Board of Endodontics (ABE).  Accompanied by Dean Hutter, who was the Director of the Advanced Specialty Education Program in Endodontics, during their respective residencies, Drs. Desrosiers and Kayali received their ABE Board Certification Pins from the President of the ABE.

The next AAE Annual Session will take place May 6–9, 2015, in Seattle.
