Dear Colleagues:
There are lots of calls for change in the Medical Education Biz. They are related to beliefs that the practice of medicine is changing, or must change, so that education must change to produce the “patient-oriented,” “adaptive learning,” diverse, population-health-focused, technology-savvy physicians the society will need and, nay, demand. Perhaps most significantly, according to the Institute of Medicine “all health professionals should be educated to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interdisciplinary team.”
Meanwhile, the organizations that deliver care become more and more complex; spending increases yet financial pressures intensify; technology, prestige hierarchies and economic incentives favor specialization; and both managers and researchers hope “big data” will drive practice in a vision that might mean less autonomy for professionals.
In this context, CWRU and the Cleveland Clinic say they are “Building the Future of Health Education” in the new health (not just “medical”) campus between Chester and Euclid Avenues. As the longest-serving and visionary Dean of CWRU School of Dental Medicine, Jerry Goldberg emphasized both community service and the broader medical role of oral health. Join us as he shares his perspective on the need and prospects for change.
All best regards,
Joe White
Luxenberg Family Professor of Public Policy and Director, Center for Policy Studies
About Our Guest
Dr. Jerold Goldberg received his dental degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1970, and joined the faculty in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 1974. He became chairman of the department in 1985 and attained the rank of professor in 1992. As chairman he established a unique, five-year double degree training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dr. Goldberg served as interim Dean and then Dean of the School of Dental Medicine from 1997 to 2014. In 2002-03 he served the university as interim Dean of Medicine, and in 2007-08 as interim Provost of the university.
During his entire career he has combined teaching, research, and private practice with his administrative responsibilities. His areas of clinical and research interest have included the treatment of children with congenital facial deformities, patients suffering from facial pain, and those who would benefit from orthognathic surgery. He initiated the first program at CWRU exposing dental students to hospital activities and remains active in that area.
Dr. Goldberg has served organized dentistry on both the local and national levels. He was president of the Northeast Society of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons and has been active in the local dental society. He participated in the national board construction committee for the ADA and the advisory committee for the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. He was also chair for the section of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of the American Association of Dental Schools. Dr. Goldberg has had a long-time interest in dentistry and the international scene. He has been involved with surgical missions to Mexico, Equador and Nepal, as well as an ongoing commitment to a craniofacial center which he co-founded in Klaipeda, Lithuania. He was inducted into the Order of Knights of the Grand Duke Gidimitas by the President of Lithuania. He has supported student exchanges throughout the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Egypt, The Dominican Republic and Brazil.
Where We Meet
The Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Our programs are open to all and no registration is required. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library.
* Kelvin Smith Library requires all entrants to show identification when entering the building, unless they have a university i.d. that they can magnetically scan. We are sorry if that seems like a hassle, but it has been Library policy for a while in response to security concerns. Please do not complain to the library staff at the entrance, who are just doing their jobs.
The Dampeer Room is on the second floor of the library. If you get off the elevators, turn right, pass the first bank of tables, and turn right again. Occasionally we need to use a different room; that will always be announced in the weekly e-mails.
Parking Possibilities
The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. You can get from the Severance garage to the library without going outside. Near the entry gates – just to the right if you were driving out – there is a door into a corridor. Walk down the corridor and there will be another door. Beyond that door you’ll find the entrance to an elevator which goes up to an entrance right inside the doors to Kelvin Smith Library.
