Tufts Medical and Dental Schools have come together with others in a multidisciplinary environment for a series of lectures to share knowledge on a host of subjects relating to research and clinical practice on pain, disabilities, behavior, treatments, and issues related to them.  Craniofacial and TMJ issues are incorporated topics.  JJAMD has been invited to attend and participate as advocates.  It is headed up by Ronald Kulich, Ph.D., who is linked with New England Medical School, Tufts TMJ Clinic, and Mass. General Hospital.  Alliances and cooperation of the various disciplines has become an expected and accepted societal norm.  This is a good example of the wave of the future to pool energies and resources towards resolutions of human issues.
