Women of ATSU-ASDOH attend ADEA International Conference
Posted: September 24, 2014
Six faculty and staff women from A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH) recently attended the 5th Annual American Dental Education Association (ADEA) held in Barcelona, Spain, Sept. 14-16.
Drs. Michelle Gross-Panico, Klud Razoky, Maureen Munnelly Romer and Janet Woldt, along with Colleen Reidhead and Monica Williamson Nenad, shared their poster presentation, “Assessing the positive and negative aspects of the dental education work environment: Are we happy and do we know it?” at the conference. Last spring, all ATSU-ASDOH faculty and staff were surveyed to assess job satisfaction factors and levels.
In their study, the researchers concluded that female employees overall are more satisfied with their work environment, which supported their hypothesis. They also recommended that further study is needed in areas of differences in satisfaction to ensure that female employees are given the same opportunities, benefits and support as their male counterparts.
