As the years progress, we seemingly develop more and more educational resources. While we were training in our homes, learning online via Zoom, attending virtual course conferences, and hopefully experiencing a return to face-to-face learning, our industry has maintained its vitality throughout these challenging years. A variety of new presentation topics has also been emerging from the combination of old and new processes, leading to the diverse selection from which we as presenters can draw. These innovations in method and subject are evidence of the vigor of the industry and the willingness to adapt, change, and grow.
Growth is not immediate, and change does not happen in a day, but let us use our own history to propel our industry forward. Years ago, dental laboratories in the US were part of an American industry, but dental technology has since prospered from the inclusion of international voices. Challenged by the pandemic, courses became virtual (and often international) and pushed by the latest technological advances, procedures, and artistry. Female speakers and educators will continue to evolve and push our industry forward, continuing to expand the voices and knowledge in our industry and provide leadership that is beneficial to the expanding and advancing dental profession.
