When told it was time to move on to the
next office, Katz said the students were
not ready to leave.
“The only problem was they needed more
time to ask questions,” Katz said.
For Katz, he believes the Street of Dreams
program is one he would have benefited
from when he was still in school. As a
dental student, Katz wanted to be an oral
surgeon and decided to visit an oral
surgeon’s office every Saturday. He then
decided he wanted to be a periodontist
and visited a local periodontist’s office. It
was during his junior year he went to a
general dentist’s office and decided to
pursue general dentistry.
“I did that many, many times,” he said.
“It was very helpful to focus on what I
wanted to do.”

OHIO DENTAL ASSOCIATION PROGRAM GIVES CWRU DENTAL
STUDENTS A REASON TO DREAM continued from page 4
Katz encouraged the students to do the
same, and invited them to come back to
his office to visit.
“Hopefully, those who were enthusiastic
will come back and we can spend more
time one-on-one,” he said.
After all three dental office visits, the students
returned to the Greater Cleveland Dental
Society office for pizza. Participating
dentists joined the students for dinner
and a question and answer session, as did
Greater Cleveland Dental Society
Executive Director, Carla Alderdice, and
Dr. John Grady a retired ODA member.
Upon reflection of the day’s events, Payne
said she believes the program was not
only fun and advantageous for students,
but also for the participating dentists.

“Dentists who hosted the students in
their offices really seemed to enjoy the
program and eagerly gave their time,”
Payne said.
When asked if he would participate in
the program again Katz said, “Absolutely
and it was fun.”
The ODA's Street of Dreams event has
been nationally recognized by the
American Dental Association and has
served as a prototype for similar events
held by dental associations throughout
the country including Minnesota, New
York and New Jersey.
