2006 Hispanic Dental Association Annual Meeting Will Examine Diversity, Cultural Competency, Access to Care

“The Hispanic Dental Association (HDA) will hold its 14th Annual Meeting November 2-4 at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Los Angeles. The program will span a wide variety of clinical and practice management issues of interest to Hispanic dental professionals and those who work within the Hispanic dental community. This year, hundreds of members are expected to attend the event as the HDA examines diversity in the dental education community, cultural competency and increasing access to care in the underserved Hispanic patient population in the United States, among other topics.

“Oral health care in the United States is undergoing many great and exciting changes, including a growing number of Hispanic dental practitioners and patients,” said Dr. Ernest L. Garcia, Jr., President of the Hispanic Dental Association. “At this year’s HDA Annual Meeting, we will look at some of the complex issues confronting our profession and seek to find some consensus for how we as Hispanic dental professionals can take a leadership role in addressing them.””
