Handysides, D.D.S., is the sixth dean of the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Dr. Handysides previously served as associate dean for academic affairs.<\/p>\n<p>According to a news story on the school\u2019s website, in response to his selection, Dr. Handysides said he was deeply honored and humbled. \u201cAlthough LLUSD has a proud tradition of excellence and is recognized as having one of the profession\u2019s premier clinical programs, we have no interest in resting on our laurels. I look forward to collaborating with our school\u2019s highly dedicated faculty, staff, alumni and students as we strive to improve on our laudable past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from LLUSD in 1993, Dr. Handysides established and maintained a solo practice for five years in Kingston, Ontario, his Canadian home. He returned to LLUSD in 1999 and earned a Certificate in Endodontics. After completion of his specialty program, Dr. Handysides served the Department of Endodontics in a variety of roles: course director, lecturer, clinical educator and researcher. In 2003, he became director of the LLU Faculty Endodontics practice, a position he held until 2013.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, when Dr. Leif Bakland, distinguished emeritus professor, retired, Dr. Handysides replaced his mentor and friend as chair of the Department of Endodontics.<\/p>\n<p>A Board-certified endodontist, Dr. Handysides has authored or coauthored several peer-reviewed articles and textbook chapters in endodontics and dental education. He has also presented many continuing education seminars nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert A.
