Congratulations to Jordan
Schweitzer, native of Fort Worth
and son of Leonard and Rose-
Marie Schweitzer, who recently
came in for national honors from
the American Association of
Endodontists. The NewsStand of
the Texas A&M University Baylor
College of Dentistry reported
May 15.
“Not long after Dr. Jordan
Schweitzer began working as a
faculty member in the dental
school’s endodontics department,
he had a vision in mind. He
wondered if he might ever receive
the Edward M. Osetek Educator
Award. Given by the American
Association of Endodontists,
the award is one of the highest
honors a dental educator in the

“His teaching approach: Find
out what motivates each student.
‘“I personalize my instruction
to the student’s particular level,
be it a D2 student at a beginning
level, a D3 student entering into
the clinic, and then a D4 student
who’s about to graduate,’ says
Schweitzer. ‘I want to challenge
them to be the best that they can
be.’”
Board-certified in
endodontics, Schweitzer
maintains a practice in Dallas at
Highland Park Endodontics. He
is a graduate of UT-Austin’s Plan
II honors program and received
his DDS from Baylor School of
Dentistry.
He received his endodontic
training at Marquette University,
earning a certificate in
endodontics and master’s degree
in 1988 and 1989.
He is married and his interests
include computers, dog rescue,
historic architecture, and music.
He also serves on the Board of
Adjustment for the City of Dallas.

was back in
2004, when
he worked
part time at
Texas A&M
University
Baylor College of Dentistry.
“‘Lo and behold, 11 years
later, it happened,’ said
Schweitzer, associate professor
in endodontics. ‘It started as sort
of a dream: ‘Could I possibly
win this?’ he said. The award
is given to faculty members in
endodontics who have been
teaching full time for 10 years or
less. Schweitzer, who transitioned
to full-time status in 2006, says
the award serves as a vote of
confidence from colleagues, and
current and former students,
who submitted letters of support
as part of the process, which
commenced with a nomination
from his department chair, Dr.
Gerald Glickman.
“As predoctoral director of
endodontics and course director
for the preclinical endodontic
course, Schweitzer instructs
second-, third- and fourth-
year students and supervises
endodontic residents in the
graduate clinic.
