Real patients. Expert faculty. Real learning. 🦷✨

Dr. Parishi Marfatia and Dr. Divya Harika Pedada recently shadowed at the USC Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine Center, a specialized clinic treating patients with oral disease, chronic headaches, jaw disorders, and more. This is distance learning in action and we couldn't be prouder of these two! 💛🙌

There is something truly special about walking across that stage. 🎓
This spring, several of our Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC Distance Learning graduates made the journey to celebrate in person — and we are so glad they did. Watching our online students become part of the USC commencement tradition is a moment that reminds us why this program exists.
Congratulations to those who joined us in person:
🔹 Mariel — MS in Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine & Geriatric Dentistry Certificate
🔹 Steven, Shazeen, and Jane — MS in Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine
🔹 Amalia — Oral Pathology and Radiology Certificate
🔹 Divya — Orofacial Pain Certificate
Distance learning makes graduate education accessible no matter where you are in the world — but moments like these remind us that our graduates are not just online students. They are part of the USC Trojan Family. 🔴💛
To Mariel, Steven, Shazeen, Jane, Amalia, and Divya — congratulations on this well-earned milestone. We hope the experience was everything you deserved and more. Fight On! ✌️

We are so proud of Dr. Anette Vistoso Monreal for her incredible presentation at AAOP 2026 in Orlando! 🙌

Her talk, "The AI Edge: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Orofacial Pain Diagnosis," brought the room to life with a vision for where our field is heading — AI-enhanced clinical documentation, real-time diagnostic support, and personalized treatment strategies powered by data. The session sparked rich discussion and left a lasting impression on attendees.

This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking leadership that makes our program special. Congratulations, Dr. Vistoso — we couldn't be more proud! 💛

Two of our own took the stage at AAOP 2026 in Orlando — and they delivered! 🙌

Dr. Sumaia Jaber presented her MS capstone research on cancer therapy–induced neuropathic and neurovascular disorders in the head and neck region, mentored by Dr. Anette Vistoso Monreal.

OFP resident Dr. Shradhdha Trivedi presented on persistent dentoalveolar pain and treatment outcomes, mentored by Dr. Mariela Padilla and Dr. Douglas Wall.

These poster presentations are a reflection of the incredible research culture within our Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine program — and the passion our trainees bring to advancing care for patients. So proud of you both! 💛

Another incredible year at the American Academy of Orofacial Pain Annual Conference (AAOP 2026) in Orlando! 🌟 Our alumni, students, and faculty gathered to stay at the forefront of emerging treatments, evolving clinical techniques, and the latest advancements in orofacial pain.
We're especially proud of our program directors — Dr. Clark, serving as President of the American Board of Orofacial Pain, and Dr. Vistoso, serving as Secretary — who also participated in the dedicated ABOP meeting and dinner alongside board members from across the specialty.
Seeing our faculty, alumni, and current students so actively engaged in this important gathering is something we never take for granted. 💛

It wasn't just a Boot Camp — it was a masterclass in real-world public health practice. 💡 Our Community Oral Health students explored community-based oral health delivery models, dug into program workflows, and examined population-specific needs and team-based care approaches. They walked away with a truly integrated understanding of oral health as a public health system. That's the USC Ostrow difference. 💛

04/23/2026

Our Community Oral Health master's students just completed a week-long Boot Camp focused on oral health care delivery systems! 🙌 This is what graduate-level public health education looks like at USC Ostrow — challenging, immersive, and built for real-world impact. Congratulations to this incredible cohort! 💛
