From scheduling to documentation and patient communication, the real question isn’t if AI fits into your practice. It’s how to use it without losing the human connection patients trust.

Thriving in an Age of AI helps dentists move beyond surface level automation to thoughtful, ethical AI collaboration that supports judgment, empathy and patient care.

Welcome back to SOD, Bluejays!

As another year begins, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the spaces that make our School of Dentistry community feel like home. From familiar faces and daily routines to study sessions, conversations and big milestones, these spaces are where so much of the SOD experience happens.

Whether you’re returning to a favorite spot or discovering a new one, we’re excited to see these spaces come to life again this year. 🦷💙

Meet Anna Jahn, a fourth-year dental student who participated in the Institute for Latin American Concern (ILAC) program in the Dominican Republic.

For Anna, ILAC was an opportunity to serve others while learning alongside a community committed to making a meaningful impact.

“Creighton prepared myself and my colleagues for this experience through their Jesuit values of faith, justice and community.”

Anna hopes to carry these values of empathy, humility and respect into her future career as a general dentist. 🦷🇩🇴💙

“In my third year of dental school, I will… serve oral health needs with compassionate care in both the dental clinic and outreach programs.”

For Keaomālamalama “Keao” Liu, Class of 2028, this year marks an important foundation for her future in dentistry. Guided by the Hawaiian proverb, “First the foundation, then the building,” Keao is looking forward to growing her clinical skills and bringing service and aloha to her patients.

Keao's goal is to return home and serve communities in Hawai‘i. 🌺
