The Meaning of Life

November 17, 2005

Dear Endodontic Faculty and Residents,

As you are aware, Dr. Lamar Hicks stepped down as Chairman and Program Director of the I. B. Bender Division of Endodontics at Albert Einstein Medical Center (AEMC) on June 30, 2005.

I am now pleased to announce that Dr. Frederic Barnett has been appointed to this important position effective on January 1, 2006. Dr. Barnett has served as Interim Chairman and Program Director since July 1, 2005.

Dr. Barnett received his D.M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine. He completed a General Practice Residency at the Long Island Jewish-Hillside Medical Center and received his Certificate in Endodontics from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Dental Medicine.

Dr. Barnett is well known and highly regarded in the endodontic specialty. He is a member of many professional organizations, serves on several journal editorial boards and is President of the The Louis I. Grossman Study Club, Philadelphia, PA. His strong curriculum vitae reflect many published articles and abstracts as well as on-going invitations to lecture both here and abroad.

Dr. Barnett has been a member of our voluntary medical staff and a part-time faculty member for almost a decade. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and served as a Program Director at the University of Pennsylvania twenty years ago prior to entering private practice. He has a well-established and respected professional reputation. We at Einstein are very fortunate to have Dr. Barnett with us because he is superbly qualified, knows AEMC and has prior program management experience.

Please join with me in welcoming Dr. Frederic Barnett and wish him success in continuing the excellent AEMC endodontic educational program in the tradition of and previously guided by Drs. I. B. Bender, Samuel Seltzer, Seymour Oliet, Louis Rossman and M. Lamar Hicks.

Sincerely,

Alan J. Borislow, D.D.S.

Chairman

The Maxwell S. Fogel Department of Dental Medicine
