Scott McClanahan Biography<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Scott McClanahan’s service to endodontics exemplifies the model of an involved, contributing citizen. Currently a trustee of the Foundation for Endodontics, he is a former president and board member of the American Board of Endodontics, AAE, and the US Navy Association of Endodontists, and has served on a host of committees, task forces, and advisory boards.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Stories of his dedication to preparing generations of endodontists at the University of Minnesota and Navy Postgraduate Dental School2<\/sup> for their careers in the specialty are legion. His own endodontic training was itself legendary3<\/sup>, which he then sought to pass on throughout his career to all who crossed his professional path. His exhaustive manuals4<\/sup> and OneNote notebooks5<\/sup>, articulating every expectation with military precision and putting every resource at his students’ fingertips, set up residents for success from the beginning to complete their training, join the AAE endodontic community, and attain board certification. Thanks to his high standards, residents interacted with preeminent clinicians over table clinics, became more adept at endodontic surgery, submitted research worthy of publication, and earned Diplomate status with the ABE6<\/sup>. Indeed learning doesn’t end with his training, as he continues to circulate to his UMN alumni new literature citations added to the residency reading list after their graduation7<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

As a program director, he set his own best example, working tirelessly8<\/sup> more hours than there are in a day9<\/sup> and making himself available to residents outside clinic hours even at the cost of foregoing his own professional meetings10<\/sup>. As an educational leader, he both instilled an appreciation for the historical development of the specialty11<\/sup> and created a culture of learning that fostered an extraordinary number of graduates with master’s degrees in addition to their specialty certificates,12<\/sup> and produced new clinicians whose depth and breadth of experience made them disciples of knowledge rather than of a particular system or technique, armed to use a variety of approaches to achieve the best outcome13.<\/sup>. The legacy of his high standards and mentorship14<\/sup> lives well beyond his retirement in the expectation of Board certification among University of Minnesota trainees which remains in place to this day15<\/sup>. His willing ability to share knowledge16<\/sup> also inspired others to pursue careers in endodontic education17<\/sup>. He embraced industry relationships with the spirit of innovation rather than suspicion and, backed by the ongoing support of alumni18<\/sup>, brought leading-edge technologies into the classroom19<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Most admirably, Dr McClanahan is driven as much by humanity as a pursuit of technical excellence, recognizing individual potential and giving life-changing opportunities to his students to become more than they ever thought they could achieve20<\/sup>, building well-complemented teams of co-residents who become family to one another21<\/sup> and treating everyone like family even when they are no longer under his tutelage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Minnesota\n\t\t\t\t\"ABE\n\t\t\t\t\"US\n\t

Letter from Katie Divine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Some people make an indelible mark on your life.\u00a0 For me, Dr Scott McClanahan, “Mac,” was one of those people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mac’s military precision, attention to detail and expansive knowledge of endodontics are standards I strive to meet every day. He firmly cemented the notion that learning only begins with the completion of residency training.\u00a0 But I also cherish his humanity-a desire to give young professionals a chance and compose resident classes whose members uniquely complemented one another and became family supporting one another as we made our way through his arduous preparation to become endodontic specialists and consummate professionals.\u00a0 He continues to maintain those family relationships long after we leave his watchful eye and occasionally raised eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please join me in honoring Mac as he receives the prestigious IB Bender Lifetime Educator Award at AAE23 in Chicago next year.\u00a0 We are raising funds for a tribute gift to the Foundation for Endodontics to permanently fund a named McClanahan Full Time Educator Development Grant.\u00a0 The grants are given annually to support professional development and are a most fitting tribute to Dr McClanahan’s career of service to the specialty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can easily make your tax-deductible contribution toward the $25,000 goal to permanently fund the McClanahan named grant by donating online at www.aae.org\/foundation\/mactribute<\/a> . Gifts by check can be sent memo: MacTribute to the Foundation in Chicago, or feel free to contact Gary Rejebian at grejebian@aae.org<\/a> or 312-517-2159 if you’d like to discuss other giving options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking forward to celebrating Mac’s career with you at AAE23!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/p>\n
