The role of the surgical Implant Coordinator has become invaluable for surgical practices. And yet, as the role has evolved, there have become as many descriptions of the Implant Coordinator role, as there are practices with this position on their team.

LIBBY LOPEZ
“I am the Implant Coordinator Lead for PNWOMS. I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Dental Implant Coordinator Association, as my main goal is to empower my team to educate our patients and give them the best patient experience possible. It is my honor to work and learn with the absolute best of the best in the implant industry and I believe the DICA will allow me to do this. I cannot wait to see what the future holds!”
TRISH BOHUSLAVICKY
“I go to the annual AAOMS meeting and continuing education courses to keep up with the latest advanced in implant surgery, but they never offer any classes for the Implant Coordinator role. To have a community to network with is so powerful. It’s uplifting to see so many of us with the same common goal of providing quality care and meeting the individual needs of each patient. I have always benefitted from the workshops, which are focused on what Implant Coordinators deal with on a daily basis, and facilitated by experts in our field who really understand this role.”
