Shahram “Sean” Shekib, DDS, JD, FAGD, is the immediate past president of the New York State AGD. He received his Juris Doctor from Mitchell Hamline School of Law, making him one of the rarest of species — a holder of dual degrees in dentistry and law.
After completing his undergraduate degree at Yeshiva University, Shekib went on in 1996 to graduate from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. Subsequently, he completed a general practice residency at Flushing Hospital and pursued coursework in the areas of lasers, implants, esthetics, full-mouth restorations and orthodontics.
Over the years, Shekib has been awarded fellowships by the American College of Dentists, the Pierre Fauchard Academy, the American Academy of Dental Science and the International College of Dentists. He is also a clinical evaluator at Clinical Research Associates and a clinical assistant professor at Columbia. He is a recipient of the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, granted by the Office of the President of the United States, for his lifelong commitment to building a stronger nation through volunteer services.
In life and work, Shekib remains deeply committed to resolving human conflict in all its forms. Serving as a member of the peer review committee in the Second District Dental Society, he helped resolve disputes between healthcare providers and patients. Out of this experience, Shekib sought to harness his technical expertise and legal training to empower people to resolve their own disputes through mediation. He received his mediation certificate through the Mitchell Hamline School of Law and became a certified mediator in New York State, mediating across a wide variety of disputes.
In addition, Shekib frequently presents seminars on mediation and mediation techniques, most recently before organizations such as the Greater New York Dental Meeting, the New York State AGD, the Second District Dental Society, the Greater Long Island Dental Meeting and the New York County Dental Society/American College of Dentists. Shekib has also written articles on mediation, one most recently appearing in the Journal of the New York State Academy of General Dentistry.
