018 Protecting our Public Health Podcast with Sharity Ludwig

On this week’s Protecting our Public Health Podcast Sharity reviews the associations which have been explored on the podcast this month (and one which will be featured in a future podcast), and shares how each of these organizations has influenced her.   Episode Highlights:   The AAPHD and its National Oral Health Conference The ASTDD and its website The ADHA and its advocacy role The American Association for Community Dental Programs and its symposia   Quotes:   “It was really valuable and provided me the opportunity to receive more information on a population that I may be less familiar with.”   “These ‘roundtables’ really provide the opportunity for you to gain knowledge about a topic or organization and meet other individuals in a small group setting.”   “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel – there are resources out there.”   “It requires advocacy from all levels to impact change.”   “Her passion just went through on the importance of being a member of your ADHA association.”   “I could really gain their pearls of wisdom to guide how I function within my program and…learn from their successes and challenges.”   “Stakeholders and legislators want to hear from the local voice.”   Links:   The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/ The Dental Podcast Network Channel Two homepage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dental-podcast-networks-channel-two/id1478530429
