B2 “ AAP, Page B1 and instrumentation. • Offer tools and guidance for mem- bers in showcasing their expertise in periodontics and dental implant place- ment. • Further building collaborative rela- tionships with general practitioners and dental professionals around the world; solidify our position as a resource and partner. • To use every means possible to edu- cate the public about who periodontists are and the unique skill sets they bring to the table in providing comprehensive dental care for patients. What do you think readers would be sur- prised to learn about the AAP? Advocacy is a component of the acad- emy’s work, particularly in the spaces of periodontal education and accreditation AD I N T E RV I EW Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | April 2018 standards. Additionally, we want to en- sure that periodontics programs serve the students who enter them and, in turn, produce quality professionals who will meet the needs of patients. Every 10 years, the academy works with the ADA to recertify periodontics as a specialty. Only the AAP does this. When is this year’s AAP meeting, and are there any highlights you can share? This year’s annual meeting will be Oct. 27-30 in Vancouver, presented in col- laboration with Canadian Academy of Periodontology, the Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology and the Japa- nese Society of Periodontology. Keynote speaker is Captain Mark Kelly, who spent a year on the International Space Sta- tion. It will include a global line-up of speakers representing the best and the brightest from the international peri- odontal community. More than 300 exhibit booths will be featured in the exhibit hall. We will have a curated slate of continuing education courses ranging from emerging trends in periodontics to more traditional clinical or basic scien- tific concepts. Finally, it will offer the chance to network and collaborate with fellow periodontists, including seasoned thought leaders and practitioners just launching their careers. What is your passion besides dentistry? I enjoy reading, especially history and biography. It is rare that I do not have a couple of books going. I also love music. I play the violin and guitar, have taken voice lessons for years and am learning the mandolin. Amateur radio is another hobby I enjoy. My call sign is NN4T and rarely does a day pass that I do not get on the air. After 45 years, the hobby still fascinates me. In fact, there is a radio on my desk that I can use between patients!
