With 127 attendees, Dr. Gordon Christensen’s fast moving "Bottom Line 2018" course, hosted in April in Odessa, not only provided attendees with 7 CE hours toward fellowships or masterships, but it showcased the acceleration of West Texas AGD as a component.
Dr. Christensen, focusing on the areas of dentistry with the most change in the last year, covered the most requested topics for the West Texas area. These included CAD/CAM, endodontics, equipment, laboratory technology, operative dentistry, preventive dentistry, prosthodontics fixed, and technology.
“I feel that it was a great source of achievement to have a speaker of Dr. Christensen’s status to kick off our year. It speaks well of our component,” said Russ Boyles, West Texas AGD President (pictured below). “The energy of the day could be summed up by comments I heard in the halls after the event of, 'It was a great day!' and the like,” he said.
Dr. Christensen expertly led the course, and mentioned the importance of being involved with the Texas AGD. “WHERE the education happens is through the AGD,” said Dr. Christensen.
Dr. Christensen is a practicing prosthodontist in Provo, Utah. He has presented over 45,000 hours of continuing education throughout the world and has published many articles and books. Early in his career, he helped initiate the University of Kentucky and University of Colorado Dental Schools and taught at the University of Washington.
Dr. Christensen and his wife, Dr. Rella Christensen, are co-founders of the non-profit Gordon J. Christensen CLINICIANS REPORT (previously CRA), which Rella directed for many years. They also publish a well-known CRA Newsletter, also called CLINICIANS REPORT.
