Dodge, D.D.S., dean of the School of Dentistry, reflected on 40 years at UT Health San Antonio. He arrived in 1978 just four years after the first dental class graduated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never envisioned this day. This wasn\u2019t part of my original life plan. I thought I would spend my career in private practice,\u201d said Dr. Dodge.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1586\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1586\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1586\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/10\/FourDecades_1.jpg\" alt=\"faculty and staff members in the late 1970s\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Dodge (front row, second from left) poses with faculty and staff members in<br \/>the late 1970s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After practicing for two years in the U.S. Army and five years in private practice in San Antonio, Dr. Dodge hadn\u2019t found the fulfillment he expected. \u201cIn private practice, you are on an island. You don\u2019t have anyone to consult with throughout the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While maintaining his nearby practice, he started teaching one day a week in the dental school clinic. \u201cI enjoyed teaching a great deal. And, I had daily contact with colleagues who shared my desire to work with students. I could just go next door to confer with another dentist,\u201d Dr. Dodge recalled. \u201cI sat down with my wife, Jill, and together we decided if this was going to make me happy, I needed to sell the practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so glad I did. The pleasure you get from being here with students and the experiences you get with faculty and staff, you can\u2019t get elsewhere. I got here, and I just fit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, Dr. Dodge reflected on the three main advancements that occurred during his time at the dental school.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A New Curriculum<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Dodge, who taught for seven years as a full-time professor, said, \u201cWe were one of the first universities to have adopted a group general dentistry curriculum. Others followed suit,\u201d said Dr. Dodge, who later became director of the general dentistry program.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A New Practice<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1587\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1587\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1587\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/10\/FourDecades_2.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Dodge in the dental clinic\" width=\"300\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/10\/FourDecades_2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/10\/FourDecades_2-291x300.jpg 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Dodge arrived on campus in 1978 and taught once a week in the dental clinic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 1985, he became the first director when the school created its faculty dental practice. Until that time, the dental clinic was staffed by students and residents as part of their respective curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the university and school leaders saw the writing on the wall. State funding was going to continue to decrease. We had to look for revenue elsewhere. Clinical was the answer,\u201d he said. \u201cThe practice started very small and now generates $20 million per year. Without this funding, the dental school would not exist. I am fortunate I had a hand in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A New Building<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Former Dean Kenneth L. Kalkwarf, D.D.S., M.S., who served as dean for 24 years, saw the need for a new building for the dental school\u2019s clinical practice. As associate dean of patient care at the time, Dr. Dodge was entrusted with creating its conceptual plan.<\/p>\n<p>When Dr. Kalkwarf retired and Dr. Dodge was appointed dean, Gary F. Guest, D.D.S., who became associate dean for patient care and is a former student of Dr. Dodge\u2019s, supervised the construction of the new Center for Oral Health Care &amp; Research.<\/p>\n<p>Opened in July 2015, the 198,000-square-foot, four-story facility allowed the school to vastly expand its clinical space and provide the newest equipment and technology for patient care and research activities. The $96.5 million center for oral health care, patient care and education is now hailed as one of the best in the nation, drawing visitors from other dental schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel good about those three things\u2014the curriculum, clinical practice and building. It wasn\u2019t me. It was everyone. We had support from above and from below. We were fortunate to have UT System and university leaders throughout the years supporting the dental school. We were lucky to have Presidents John P. Howe, Francisco Cigarroa and Bill Henrich. It took everyone working together.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Next Chapter<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1583\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1583\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/10\/FourDecades_3.jpg\" alt=\"William L.

Each class has its own personality. They are always so refreshing and so energetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained there are certain events that are instantly life changing: getting married, having a first child, and the loss of a loved one. \u201cMy life will be different. I won\u2019t wake up and go to the same place I went to for 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look back and am proud of what I have done. And, I\u2019m looking forward to what is to come. If you ask me what I\u2019m going to do, I will tell you I don\u2019t know. But, I\u2019m going to try some different activities. I\u2019m going to enjoy this next chapter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>\u201cBill Dodge served the School of Dentistry with distinction for 40 years in a variety of roles, including dean. During his tenure, his achievements included designing and occupying a state-of-the-art clinical venue. In partnership with faculty, he led a 94 percent growth in net patient revenue from 2012 to 2017. He refocused the school\u2019s research efforts to grow its NIH portfolio. He oversaw a significant revision of the school\u2019s curriculum. I am very proud to have worked with such a talented and dedicated leader, and our entire institution is grateful to him for his exemplary service.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>William L. Henrich, M.D., MACP<\/strong><br \/>\nPresident<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>\u200b\u201cBill Dodge probably had more impact on the predoctoral clinical care aspect of dental education than anyone in the U.S. during the 1990s and 2000s. His contributions to the school\u2019s predoctoral clinical enterprise, as well as to multiple other schools through his activities with the Commission on Dental Accreditation and the American Dental Education Association, set the stage for what we now recognize as a contemporary clinical care\/education model.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Kenneth L.

He had a major impact on my career, and I attribute part of my success to that relationship.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gary F. Guest, D.D.S.<\/strong><br \/>\nAssociate Dean for Patient Care<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDuring Dr. Dodge\u2019s tenure, significant transformational advances occurred.

Breslin, Ph.D., RN, FAAN<\/strong><br \/>\nDean, School of Nursing<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor people to be most productive, they have to be in a supportive, nurturing environment where expectations are clear and people feel appreciated. Dr. Dodge provided this type of environment to everyone under his leadership. As my last boss before retirement, he gave me that final boost in challenging me to end my career with a significant accomplishment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Birgit Junfin Glass, D.D.S. Class of 1975, M.S.<\/strong><br \/>\nProfessor Emeritus<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDuring his long career, Bill Dodge seemed to always be tasked with the most difficult jobs from establishing the faculty practice to serving as acting chair of multiple departments, to serving as vice dean and dean.
