Patrick M. Lloyd, DDS, MS, has been named dean of the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine (SDM), effective July 1.
“Dr. Lloyd’s vision and extraordinary experience positions him well to lead the next era of Stony Brook’s School of Dental Medicine and build upon the School’s focus to advance its dental education, research, patient care, and service to the community,” said Hal Paz, MD, executive vice president of health sciences at Stony Brook University and chief executive officer, Stony Brook University Medicine. “He has the strategic acumen and leadership skills to ensure we meet the highest professional standards, provide the best education and training experiences to our students and residents, and high-quality care for our patients.”
Dr. Lloyd succeeds Margaret M. McGovern, MD, PhD, who was named interim dean of the School of Dental Medicine on December 1, 2021. He joins Stony Brook after a decade serving as dean of the College of Dentistry at Ohio State University. Some of his accomplishments include increasing college funding support for student research, forming a college-wide workgroup to identify priorities and develop strategies to improve the school’s environment, and initiating the CARE (Commitment to Access Resources and Education) program aimed at recruiting and supporting dental students from underserved communities in Ohio. He also oversaw the planning, design and fundraising for a $95 million expansion and renovation of the college’s clinical and administrative facilities.
Dr. Lloyd is an international lecturer on a variety of issues related to geriatric dentistry and has published widely on treatment strategies for the aged dental patient. His diverse clinical experience includes private practice in prosthodontics with an emphasis on care of the older adult and educating and training students in the area of special patient care.
Dr. Lloyd is a graduate of Marquette University School of Dentistry and earned his specialty certificate in prosthodontics from the V.A. Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as well as a master of science from the Graduate School of Marquette University. After completing his specialty training, Lloyd served as chief of dental geriatrics and directed a fellowship in geriatric dentistry at the Milwaukee V.A. Medical Center.
In 1985, he was appointed to serve as national coordinator for geriatric dental programs for the Department of Veterans Affairs. In 1992, he joined the faculty at Marquette University, where he was head of the Special Patient Care Clinic. He held that position for four years before being named executive officer of the Department of Family Dentistry at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 1996. In 2004, Dr. Lloyd was named dean at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry before heading to Ohio State University, where he has been the dean of the College of Dentistry since 2011.
Pat
Congratulations on your appointment. You will make a fine dean and wonderful addition. I always will fondly remember working for you and with Phil Lainson at the University of Iowa. You were a pleasure to work for. I thought I would be a “political football” working for both Family Dentistry and Periodontics, but that never happened. I really enjoyed being a small part of the D4 curriculum.
Best wishes and regards,
Steven Cooper, D.D.S., M.S.
