Larry Cook is a 1979 graduate of the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Larry has been in general restorative dental practice since 1980 in a small rural town in NW Florida, Marianna, Florida. He received his undergraduate education at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Larry was able to attend ORU by receiving a baseball scholarship and playing for the Titans for four years. His undergraduate degree was in Business Administration. He worked on his MBA in International Marketing at Youngstown State University prior to leaving the business world and entering dental education. He began dental school at the University of Florida College in 1976 and graduated with the Class of 1980.
Larry is the Past President of the American Academy of Dental Practice Administration, the University of Florida College of Dentistry Alumni Association and serves as Advisor to the Executive Council for the Florida Academy of Dental Practice Administration. He has been a teaching assistant at the L.D. Pankey Institute for Higher Dental Education, Key Biscayne, Florida.
For many years Larry has served the Florida Section of the American College of Dentists as the Ethics Chair for the Section. He has directed ethical dilemma workshops, ethics essay forums, ethics discussion forums and providing ethics and professionalism lectures for the students at the dental schools and residents at the AEGD residencies in Florida. The last ten years his teaching in ethics has expanded to include lectures and workshops at national dental meetings involving his peers in the profession. Larry completed his Masters Degree in Healthcare Ethics from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska in 2011.
In the summer of 2013 Larry began teaching clinical dentistry on a part time basis at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Within just a few months Larry knew that teaching would become his third career. In February 2014 his dental practice of 34 years was fully transitioned to his former associate. Larry currently teaches full-time in the Restorative Dental Sciences Department as well as the Ethics and Professionalism curriculum at UFCD.

“Don’t worry. We will help you.”
“I’m from Rotary. I want to help you.”
These words were spoken by a German couple just days after the tsunami hit Southeast Asia in 2004. While on a peaceful vacation in Sri Lanka, this German Rotary couple soon made an impact on the community they were visiting when disaster stuck. Read about this “Service Above Self” couple in the April edition of The Rotarian and how their quick actions impacted a generation of children.
If you are not currently receiving a copy of The Rotarian, please speak with your club leadership. The Rotarian is a great source of information about how your fellow Rotarians are impacting communities throughout the world.
