2008 Annual Needs Assessment Survey

Dear MDA Member,

One of the duties of the MDA Council on Nominations, Awards and Education is to assess the continuing educational (CE) needs of the MDA membership and develop programs to meet those needs.  In an effort to identify those needs, please take a few minutes to complete this very brief survey.  The MDA has worked with Brunner and Company to develop an on-line survey that enables MDA staff to easily collect survey responses and analyze the results.  Completion of the entire survey should take less than 5 minutes and including your name is optional. The Council on Nominations, Awards and Education will be sharing the results of this survey with MDA Officers and District Officers who plan our CE.  Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Sincerely,
Mindy Austin, D.M.D.
