The dean of the University of Florida (UF) College of Dentistry is leaving the school in June to work for Dentsply as a vice president and chief clinical officer.
Teresa A. Dolan, DDS, MPH, served 10 years as dean and 24 years as faculty at the college. She served as an associate director of a joint medicine and dentistry geriatric fellowship program and as the associate dean for education. Dr. Dolan was appointed interim dean in 2002 and dean in 2003.
The dental college will begin a national search for Dr. Dolan's successor. Boyd Robinson, DDS, the associate dean for clinical affairs and interim chair of the department of restorative dental sciences, will serve as interim dean during the transition.
In her new position at Dentsply, Dr. Dolan will provide strategic direction for global Dentsply professional education activities and work with businesses to support clinical initiatives and strategies, according to a university press release.
