Corinne Van Osdel, DDS, an assistant professor at the UNMC College of Dentistry, was named a Fellow of the International College of Dentists, the preeminent Global Dental Honor Society.

Fellowship in the International College of Dentists is by invitation only and is awarded in recognition of a dentist’s outstanding professional achievement, meritorious service, and dedication to advancing dentistry for the benefit of humankind. Fewer than 3% of dentists in the United States receive this prestigious honor.

Dr. Van Osdel teaches dental and dental hygiene students at the college’s Omaha clinics, provides didactic seminars, and serves as a clinical supervisor for dental residents in the general practice and advanced dentistry education programs.

Additionally, she serves as a director for the Caring for Champions Dental Clinic at the UMNC Munroe-Meyer Institute, where she provides care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and trains others to treat this patient population.

Dr. Van Osdel’s efforts extend beyond the clinic as she remains deeply involved in community outreach to underserved populations.

Her colleagues describe her as an invaluable asset to the dental profession.

“Dr. Van Osdel strives for excellence in patient care, creates an engaging and resourceful workplace culture, and forges interdisciplinary relationships to better the community. She works hard to bring essential dental care to those in need as both a clinician and educator,” said Kathy Ausman, DDS, an assistant professor at the UNMC College of Dentistry.

She is also recognized as a leader in advocating for underserved populations.

“Dr. Van Osdel contributes to the dental profession and underserved patients in numerous ways, including statewide advocacy for dental Medicaid issues and providing direct patient care,” said Jay Hansen, DDS, an assistant professor at the UNMC College of Dentistry.

Her colleagues commend her for serving as a role model to others.

“I am delighted that Dr. Van Osdel has been recognized for her integrity, leadership, humanitarian efforts and multifaceted service to our communities,” said Julie Marshall, DDS, an associate professor at the UNMC College of Dentistry.
