Northeast Ohio Medical University in Rootstown appointed M. Frank Beck, DDS, dean of its upcoming dental school.

The university was granted approval by its board of trustees in September to create the Bitonte College of Dentistry, which would be the state's third dental school. 

In addition to being an adjunct professor of internal medicine at NEOMED, Dr. Beck is the program director for the general practice residency program at Mercy Health – St. Elizabeth Youngstown (Ohio) Hospital. He was also chair of an advisory council that helped develop plans for the dental school, according to a Nov. 30 news release.
