recently moved back to New Mexico and I did work in Santa Fe for a year in the hospital during a two year stay in Santa Fe. I always try to be aware of integrated care esp. since I have two different areas I work in ,social work and RDH . I love the concept of integrated care and welcome the opportunity to work on implementing this concept of health care in whatever job I hope to secure in the near future . I am still learning the vast needs of this state and the various agencies that exist and what they do in the communities . I would have liked a short overview of these community agencies with photos of where they are located since I am new to the area . I did try to network and was able to gather some information. The year I was working at Christus I also obtained my RDH license by credentials and was thrilled to volunteer at mission of mercy for one day . It was a very impressive service for this community to set up and implement !

continue my personal efforts with pediatric and geriatric patients with the knowledge in the seminars

Be more aware of white lesions.

Implement some of the ideas shared in the groups

I do not practice directly with patients so i’m not sure any changes will be made as a result – but i learned a lot

I’m more community based a lot of the training I think was geared to those who work with in a medical facility. This was my first time attending and I made some new connections.

I feel that is a marvelous idea to connect PCP’s and dental Professionals in general. To develop a system that would reduce the impact in our New Mexico residents.

To practice more on my skills and knowledge on dental topics when we do our group sessions and community events. Also revaluate my competencies skills especially when to say no, which involves my professional boundaries and self care.

Great conference!

Approach my practice with new treatment considerations based on patient populations.

I would like to see more dental oriented lectures.

Also Dr. Perlman’s experience and knowledge was inspiring.

Continue to educate clients the importance of oral health and addressing to providers about other health issues that may be a underlying factor to chronic complications and/or pain.

I would like to assist more disabled patients’.

More comprehensive Oral Cancer screening, and funding to do so.

I will be referring patients with oral lesions more often.
