NADG names Bruder as head of research
Katherine E. Pfaff
The DSO North American Dental Group, referred to as NADG, has named Dr. George Bruder to its role of chief research and strategies officer. The addition of Bruder highlights the company’s interest in developing dental professionals and dentists as well as supporting advancement of the industry as a whole.
"Dr. Bruder is one of the greatest minds in dentistry not just in the United States, but across the world," said Dr. Matta, a founding partner of NADG. "The value of the knowledge and expertise that he will bring and share with our doctors is enormous and an added benefit for providers who are associated with such a great dental support organization. The ultimate outcome is for this to result in greater, more efficient oral health care for every patient at every visit."
Dr. Bruder is an established educator and will work alongside Dr. Andrew Matta, chief medical officer of NADG and with the educational arm of the Professional Dental Alliance, which is supported by NADG, to conceptualize and lead programs of professional training for dentists. The educational material will be geared toward providing information to dentists already established in their careers or practices.
Dr. Bruder previously served as founding chair with Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine’s department of endodontics and as the institution’s director of advanced specialty education in endodontics. The American Association of Endodontists bestowed him with the Edward M. Osetek Educator award in 2012.
"This is truly a great opportunity to be more closely associated with so many talented doctors across the country. The road ahead is extremely bright," said Dr. Bruder. "I am equally thrilled for the chance to work diligently with Dr. Matta as we analyze patient data and discover new ways to bring oral health services to more people, especially those currently not receiving proper dental care. The need is great, and the opportunity is there, and it requires this type of dedicated focus."
