More efforts have panned out this time in two dental trade magazines that go to dentists. One is a very long two-page article in Dentist's Money Digest, and the other is in dental Products report, both which have circulations to more than 75,000 dentists. OCF was the focus of the first and the issue of legal liability was prominently discussed in the article. Recommendations that doctors get current training in discovery and diagnosis was the conclusion of the article with links directly to OCF. The second was about how OC is becoming an important issue to dentists (crap after pushing them for 5 years we would expect to see the pressures and comments noticed by them) and references OCF as the primary information source as far as web links. Progress is measured in many small increments.

Lastly I will be at the NYU graduation ceremonies at Madison Square Garden on May 12th receiving the Stussman award for outstanding public service from dean Mike Alfano. I will have a few minutes to address the graduates on the possibilities that their future holds, and the accompanying responsibilities that go hand in hand with them. This will be my third graduating class to address, (two others last year in CA), and again a small group will hear our story and hopefully take it to heart in their practices. Another small increment.

When I get a few moments next week I will up date you all on my recent trip to meet with the powers that be in Chicago at the ADA, and what joint ideas we are exploring
