What do caffeine, cannabis, adverse childhood experiences, and behavior, hormones, receptors, oral growths, bumps, piercings and other personal modifications all have in common? All were featured in a packed program that made up the 2019 Cantwell Lecture and Pub CE, held on September 19 and 21.

Emphasizing the overlaps between dentistry and medicine, David Carsten DDS, Sarah Gordon, DDS and Stacey Condren, MD presented a suite of lectures that both informed and entertained. We are grateful to them for their work, and to Delta Dental of Oregon and Alaska, who were Gold Level Sponsors for the Pub CE event.

Back to School Weekend was made possible thanks to generous support from the Cantwell Memorial Lecture Endowment.
