Forward looking

DentistrySchulich Medicine & Dentistry’s 10-year strategic plan, entitled Optimizing Lifelong Health, received a refresh as it reached its five-year mark. Under the leadership of Dr. Margaret Steele, MD’87, former Vice Dean, Hospital and Interfaculty Relations, a steering committee worked for months gathering information and analyzing progress to date on the six strategic directions.

A full-day retreat engaging faculty, staff and students also advanced the plan refresh.

Schulich Dentistry launched its strategic plan with five major projects: human resource and organizational structure; clinical education, technology strategy; faculty development; and the Schulich Way. Work is underway on these projects by teams comprised of faculty, staff and students.
