Collaboration - we need more of it!

This week I met with Lisa to discuss the ergonomics assessment. I am excited that the project might be able to help with a course that Lisa will teach in the summer. (Joy has been a wonderful help giving me feedback and resources.) We were trying to figure out how we could get pictures of correct ergonomic positions without violating copyright laws. Another faculty member (a clinical instructor) happened to be listening in on the conversation and it turns out that she also has written and taught about ergonomics. She has pictures that she thinks we can use. Hurray!! There are many talented people at the U of M School of Dentistry. Wouldn't it be great if we shared and collaborated more? I think this would benefit the student, instructors, and the school. Collaboration on this project is helping me immensely.
