Dr. Negar Nasseripour Recognized for Innovation at Education Day

The Sixth Annual John McCahan Medical Campus Education Day was held on June 8, in the Hiebert Lounge. This annual event showcases educational innovation and scholarship at BUMC in honor of former Boston University School of Medicine Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. John McCahan.

Professor and Chair of General Dentistry Dr. Judith Jones represented GSDM at the event as part of the Panel of BUMC Academic Deans. During the Poster Session Mahesh Sadhnani DMD 12 presented his poster titled, “Oral Health Care Disparities and Access to Care Among Older Adults.” He worked on this research under the guidance of Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives Dr. Paula Friedman. Earlier this year Sadhnani won the Dentsply Award for this poster presentation at GSDM Science Day.

Also at Education Day, Dr. Negar Nasseripour was presented with the GSDM Award for Innovation in Education, by Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones said, “Negar is very deserving of this award. She displays many exemplary characteristics that make students excited about learning. She is also very innovative in her use of technology and alternative forms of teaching that both inspire and motivate students.”
