Endodontic Graduates Honored from the Country Club to the Top of the Hub

news-endo-grads-2012On May 17, 2012, residents of the Advanced Specialty Education Program in Endodontics Class of 2012 celebrated their upcoming graduation with a golf tournament and luncheon at Brookmeadow Country Club and a reception at the Prudential Tower Skywalk in the evening.

Thirty-five people, including residents, faculty, staff, and sponsors teed off on Thursday morning. Organizer and golfer Michael Pauk DMD 10, ENDO 12 led his team to victory and then celebrated at lunch, where raffle prizes were handed out to lucky winners.

Later that evening, the soon-to-be graduates, their families and friends, and faculty and staff gathered at the Skywalk to celebrate the culmination of several years of hard work and post-doctoral study.

Director ad interim of the Advanced Specialty Education Program in Endodontics Dr. Mani Moulazadeh, along with Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter and President of the Endodontic Alumni Association Iman Labib DMD 96, ENDO 01, MSD 04 presented congratulatory remarks.

Dr. Moulazadeh announced each of the residents in attendance, including the graduating residents’ future plans and said, “Congratulations to all of the graduates and welcome to the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine alumni.”

He encouraged the residents to, “keep growing; don’t let this be the end of your education,” and to consider teaching, achieve board certification, and attend organized dentistry meetings. He also stressed the importance of keeping connected to other endodontic alumni from the School and reaching out to them as resources.

Dean Hutter added, “Congratulations to you all. You have worked hard to reach this point in your professional careers—achieving success in one the most highly regarded post-graduate endodontic programs in the world. You have also had the opportunity to work with a wonderful teacher and mentor, Dr. Mani Moulazadeh, and I personally thank him for providing you with support and leadership needed to succeed. I’d also like to recognize the families and friends of the graduates—without you our residents wouldn’t be here today.”
