ADEA/William J. Gies Foundation Education Fellowship Presented to Dr. Cortino Sukotjo

SEATTLE, March 19, 2013 — The American Dental

Education Association (ADEA) presented the ADEA/William J. Gies

Foundation Education Fellowship to Cortino Sukotjo, D.D.S., Ph.D., of

the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. The

fellowship was awarded at the 2013 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition

being held March 16-19, in Seattle.

“ADEA is pleased to offer Dr. Sukotjo this opportunity to examine the

ways in which dentists who are educated abroad may meet the challenges

that faculty shortages pose to dental education programs in the United

States,” says ADEA President Gerald N. Glickman, D.D.S., M.S., M.B.A.,

J.D.

As the ADEA/ William J. Gies Foundation Education Fellow, Dr. Sukotjo

will spend three months in Washington, DC, working with the ADEA Policy

Center on issues of importance to higher education, such as faculty

recruitment, development, and retention, leadership development,

teaching strategies, competencies and their assessment, as well as

accreditation and licensure.

A dentist educated abroad himself, Dr. Sukotjo has written numerous

articles on topics related to dental education, and currently serves as

a member of the Editorial Review Board for the Journal of Dental

Education. In 2008, as a member of the Predoctoral Implant Program at

the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, Dr. Sukotjo

received the ADEA/Zimmer Dental Implant Education Teaching Award.
