Dr. Presley-Nelson, as you may know, taught dental school
for many years, 2-3 days a week, while practicing in her private office 3-4
days. She became an Assistant Professor
in the Department of Oral Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, helped developed
the video exam, to test students with a movie of procedures, and lectured on
various topics.
Having a family curtailed her academic career, and she
focused on her home and office only, until recently. Now that her sons are college aged, she has
added teaching at UOP Dental School back into her busy schedule. She now is a Clinical Instructor, checking
each step of all different procedures being performed on patients coming to the
dental school clinic, from fillings and crowns to dentures. She enjoys interacting with the students,
faculty, and the wonderful patients.
Here you see her in the daily clinical garb, moving from cubicle to
cubicle in the dental clinic.
