http://dental.nyu.edu/faculty/academy-of-distinguished-educators/jade.html

JADE is the publications component of the NYU Academy of Distinguished Educators. JADE invites experts in higher education to face off on the thorny issues confronting higher education, at the same time as it endeavors to foster interdisciplinary and inter-professional education.

Appropriately, the theme of the new issue of JADE is “Scoping Up” Dental Education to Address Scientific Uncertainty: HPV and Oropharyngeal Cancer as a Case in Point.”

The issue focuses on the need for dental students to become more comfortable with a rapidly evolving professional mandate and with scientific uncertainty and to know where to go to find the best scientific evidence available.

It features a guest editorial by Dr. Anthony T. Vernillo, professor of oral & maxillofacial pathology, radiology and medicine and affiliated faculty, Center for Bioethics and Global Institute of Public Health;

a centerpiece article by Michele J. Equinda, Class of 2015, Dr. Mary Northridge, associate professor of epidemiology & health promotion, Dr. Alexander R. Kerr, clinical professor of oral & maxillofacial pathology, radiology & medicine, Dr. Arlene R. Curry, clinical associate professor of oral & maxillofacial pathology, radiology & medicine, and Dr. Vernillo;

and commentaries by Dr. Janice Lee, deputy clinical director of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, and Dr. Arthur L. Caplan, Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Chair, and director of the Division of Medical Ethics, NYU Langone Medical Center.
