ESS Letter of Interest

 

Dear ESS West Licensing team,

Thank you for the opportunity to hopefully become a substitute teacher in the Clackamas County and Washington County school systems.  I look forward to starting as soon as possible.

 I believe my educational and professional background will help benefit the students I may teach.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Florida in 1977.  I then moved to Portland, Oregon in June 1978.  In 1980, I was accepted to the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry, where I graduated with a DMD degree in June 1984. 

Soon after my graduation, I started my dental career practicing at the Russell Street Clinic, while concurrently working at Aetna Insurance, processing dental and medical claims.  In July 1985, I began practicing dentistry full time at Willamette Dental Group until my retirement this past October in 2023. 

At Willamette Dental Group, I was a vital member of our Learning and Development team for many years, first as the Director of Doctor Development for over ten years, and then as the Director of Health and Safety, navigating our company though the COVID-19 pandemic since July 2020. 

As the Director of Doctor Development, I onboarded every new general dentist that came to our practice.  They were each provided with a tremendous overview of our treatment philosophy, electronic charting system, and solid patient interaction skills.  I was also involved in teaching all clinicians our preventative risk management of dental caries and periodontal disease.  This included many webinars and live classroom sessions, which at times included over a hundred participants. 

I have been told by many that I have a natural born talent to teach and have made a positive impact on many of our providers. 

Thank you for considering me for sponsorship.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Robert Finkelstein
