UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PAN ,MSr
It is with great personal pleasure that in my inaugural column I am able to
welcome to this noble profession the Class of 98. On behalf of the State Board of
Dental Examiners let me extend to our new dental and dental hygiene graduates our
heartiest congratulations upon receiving their degrees and professional licenses. We
applaud your scholastic achievements and wish for you every success in your chosen
careers.
If the success rate on the Western Regional Examining Board (WREB)
examinations is any kind of indicator then the Class of 98 is well prepared to provide
quality dental care to the citizens of this state. The SBDE members of the WREB
examining team continue to report their satisfaction with the manner in which this
examination is administered.
At this time, the Texas dentists serving as WREB dental examiners are Kent
Starr, Joe Zayas, David Olson, Cornelius Henry, Ron Smith, Mike Plunk, and Sheryl
Beltrane. Serving as dental hygiene examiners are Dr. Donna Williams and Dr. Paul
Stubbs. They are joined by dental hygienists Gail Wilks, Tammy Fisher, Lana Crawford,
Lisa Cooper, Gloria Zacek, Carolyn Jackson, Cheryl Burke, Rebecca Wallace, Barbara
Kraft, Karla Koonce, and Laurie Miller.
Since the State Board of Dental Examiners was reconstituted in 1995 Dr. David
Olson has represented Texas on the WREB Board of Directors, Dr. Joe Zayas has
served on the dental Examination Review Committee and Tammy Fisher, RDH and Gail
Wilks, RDH, have served on the dental hygiene Examination Review Committee. In
addition, Dr. Joe Zayas is the Chair of the Endodontic Committee for WREB, Gloria
Zacek, RDH serves as Chair of the Dental Hygiene Calibration Committee, and Tammy
Fisher, RDH has been appointed to Chair the Dental Hygiene Clinical Committee.
Having worked with these individuals for the past three years it comes as no surprise
that their leadership qualities have been recognized in this manner.I
