Advanced
Education's Grand
Event
Twice a year, the LSUSD
advanced education and
residency programs come
together to create a
day-long program of case
presentations. Entitled
"Grand Rounds", these
presentations emulate
hospital-based medical
grand rounds, which
enhance residents'
clinical reasoning skills
through discussions of
challenging patient cases.
The program also promotes
clinical and academic
collaboration among
residents in the various
departments.
The fall 2013 program,
held on September 13,
featured a keynote address
by Dr. Gerard Chiche on
interdisciplinary
esthetics. Dr. Chiche,
LSUHSC emeritus professor
and previous chair of the
LSUSD Department of
Prosthodontics, is
currently director of the
Center for Implant and
Esthetic Dentistry at
Georgia Regents University
College of Dental
Medicine. Dr. Chiche's
address was followed by
20-minute presentations
from each of the seven
advanced education
programs. All
presentations covered
information of clinical
significance for dental
practitioners in all
specialties.

The interdisciplinary
grand rounds program for
residents was the idea of
Dr. Randy Malloy, director
of advanced education from
2007 until his untimely
death in 2008. In 2009 the
Advanced Education
Committee and the Office
of Advanced Education
developed and implemented
the program. The resident
representatives on the
committee are responsible
for planning the program.
"It is a wonderful feeling
to see Dr. Malloy's vision
of an advanced education
interdisciplinary program
with all the residents
participating, reach such
success," remarked Dr.
Eric Hovland, current
director of advanced
education.
