The ADEA climate assessment survey was conducted in spring 2022 and included 258 participating U.S. and Canadian dental schools and allied dental education programs. ADEA partnered with Nonprofit HR, a private consulting group, to develop and implement the ADEA climate survey. Participation was free and open to all U.S. and Canadian dental schools and allied dental education programs

The ADEA Climate Study, the result of this survey, is a crucial step in measuring dental education efforts to foster a humanistic and inclusive environment. The baseline data collected will be used to develop strategic priorities and activities, serve as a benchmark for future data collection activities and assist dental education in gauging future progress.

Over the past several months since campuses received their individualized campus-level data, ADEA has been working with Nonprofit HR to determine areas of strategic focus based on the data findings. The ADEA Climate Study Strategic Roadmap, will focus on the following goals over the next three years: 1) Humanistic and Inclusive Environment, 2) Equitable Policies and Practices and 3) Bias and Discrimination. This roadmap outlines actionable opportunities or key implementation activities and strategies for campuses to advance a humanistic environment on their respective campuses. All campuses will be asked to engage in all three goals based on their campus needs and are not limited to the strategies outlined in the ADEA Climate Study Strategic Roadmap. 

Join Nonprofit HR and ADEA during this webinar to learn more about this request for your campus to participate in integrating strategic initiatives to further a humanistic environment on your campus and throughout dental education, discover how to participate and learn accountability metrics to showcase our collective success.

Please Note: This session does not offer continuing education (CE) credit.
