At the UAB School of Dentistry, we’re committed to fostering a community of lifelong learners who can tackle the challenges of dentistry and academia.
Our Excellence through Continued Enrichment & Learning (EXCEL) program is designed to provide select professional experiences, advance multicultural and cross disciplinary perspectives, and support faculty and staff engagement. Several times a year, we suspend regular operations for this important enrichment activity.
While half-day programming is provided within departments, the majority of EXCEL programs are daylong conferences where everyone comes together on- or off-site for centralized programming. When possible, we invite experts to present on critical subjects and hold simultaneous tracks that cover diverse topics targeted to various groups of faculty and staff. Continuing Education (CE) credits are issued for qualifying courses, such as medical emergencies and infection control. The event generally sees over 150 faculty and staff in attendance.
Why EXCEL Matters
EXCEL isn’t just about professional growth; it’s what makes the UAB School of Dentistry an exceptional place to work, learn, and receive care. We look forward to seeing you at our next EXCEL!
