The organization will host a series of events aimed at developing solutions to the lack of men of color in the academic health professions, according to a May 10 news release.

The initiative is supported by a $50,000 donation from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a public health-focused charity. 

The ADEA’s first event was held March 20 and included a panel of academicians, healthcare professionals and other leaders. The next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 10 and 11, where attendees will create a mission statement and a strategic plan in support of men of color working in healthcare and identify three top priorities to implement.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
