Polish American Medical Society Dental Study Club<br />
The Polish - American Medical Society Dental Study Club<br />
(<strong>PAMS</strong> DSC) was organized in 2001 by Dr. Dorota Anasinska<br />
who coordinated over 60 lectures covering various dental<br />
topics, including restorative treatment and practice management.<br />
The dental section has contributed to scholarships for<br />
dental students and participated in organizing the May parade.<br />
This section had its own banner and its own section in<br />
the newsletter and in the ball program book. Dr. Anasinska<br />
served as the Society’s treasurer and vice-president for four<br />
years and was the co-emcee of four annual balls. She has<br />
helped in ball and picnic preparations and other Society activities.<br />
In order for the DSC to be recognized by the dental<br />
licensing boards and to be able to provide Continuing Education<br />
(CE) credits, Dr. Anasinska completed the accreditation<br />
process for the organization to be validated and become an<br />
AGD (Academy of General Dentistry) approved program<br />
provider for continuing education.<br />
