A Center of Excellence goal is to serve as a national resource and educational center for diversity and minority health issues. Two key components of available educational resources at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry include:
The Baylor Health Sciences Library provides information services and resources in support of the educational, research, and clinical programs of Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry. Off-campus access to some or all of the library's electronic resources is available via a variety of options for both Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry and Baylor Health Care System personnel.
The Center of Excellence hosts its first conference Saturday, March 30, 2013. The course, titled “Systemic Diseases, Oral Manifestations of These Diseases and Strategies for an Interdisciplinary Approach to Their Management,” will delve into the specific systemic diseases affecting different demographic groups within Dallas and Texas, appropriate treatment for those diseases and more.
Drs. Celeste Abraham, associate professor in periodontics, and Roger Khetan, internal medicine physician at Baylor University Medical Center, will lead the course, which is free to Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry faculty, students and residents and provides three continuing education credits.
