Burkhart Announces ADAA Sponsorship

We are pleased to announce that Burkhart is providing Platinum level sponsorship of the American Dental Assistants Association for 2012. We recognize the value of the work carried out by dental assistants and the ADAA and are honored to support its mission to enhance the contributions that dental assistants make to the dental profession.

The dental assistants that we serve in our clients' offices every day are a critical component of their dental teams. We are excited that our partnership with this organization will help all dental assistants, but we are especially pleased that we will be able to bring additional benefits to our clients. As part of our partnership with the ADAA, we will be extending free memberships to all of the dental assistants in the offices of our platinum level clients. We will also extend a 25% discount on membership to two assistants in each of our gold level client offices.

These memberships will enable the assistants to complete most of their annual continuing education credits for free through the ADAA online education website featuring over 60 courses. It will also provide them with $50,000 in professional liability insurance, a subscription to the award-winning journal The Dental Assistant, and eligibility to participate in the ADAA's Fellowship/Mastership program. It is truly a pleasure to be able to provide this benefit to our clients. 

We are also excited by the information that will be shared between the ADAA and Burkhart. The ADAA publishes The Dental Assistant journal, which is a great resource for our assistants. We will be contributing articles to this journal that help assistants understand the role of a dental supplier in their office and educate them on how they can strengthen that relationship. The writers of The Dental Assistant will also be contributing articles to Burkhart's Catalyst magazine. This will further strengthen the information that Catalyst brings to assistants. 

In addition, the ADAA does fantastic research on all facets of the dental assisting industry, and this information will enable us to tailor our services. Our partnership will also allow us to learn from assistants through surveys and round table discussions that will help us better identify their needs.

This partnership provides one additional opportunity that we are really excited about. We will be able to liaison directly with the department directors of the dental assisting schools in each of our markets. We will be working with them to identify ways that Burkhart can help with dental assistant education by interacting in the classrooms and providing additional support to the educators.

Our collaborative efforts throughout the year will be a benefit for the assistants that we serve, the ADAA and Burkhart. We look forward to working with them throughout the year.

Sincerely,

Lori Burkhart Isbell
President
