Overview
Women dentists have come a long way! Now that our dental school classes are comprised of at least 50 percent women, we sometimes take the history of women in dentistry for granted. Attend the Women’s Seminar on January 14 and hear the stories of three women dentists: Dr. Anna Hampel, a 1951 graduate from dental school in Germany; Dr. Ann Theis, a 1971 graduate from Sweden; and Dr. Catalina Morarasu, a 1988 graduate from Romania. Dr. Hempl and Dr. Theis attended the School of Dentistry in order to receive an American dental license and have served as faculty of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Dr. Morarasu received a Ph.D. in Romania after dental school and then came to Minnesota because of the world reputation of it’s residency in TMD. These three women represent different generations and experiences and will talk about what being a woman in dentistry has meant to them as well as how their backgrounds have formed their lives. Dr. Anna Hampel will also be honored. She retired in 1992 at the rank of professor from the Department of Oral Science at the University of Minnesota.
