Speaker: Dr. Roy S. Shelburne, Dentist/Speaker/Consultant 

Dr. Shelburne graduated from the University of Virginia with a double major in Biology and Religious Studies in 1977. He went on to graduate with honors from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Dental School and opened a private general practice in Pennington Gap, Virginia, in 1981. He has served as Secretary/Treasurer and President for Southwest Virginia’s Component 6 of the Virginia Dental Association and as a delegate to the Virginia Dental Association’s Annual Meeting. He and his family have served as short-term volunteer missionaries with the Baptist Medical Dental Missions International and on various Mission of Mercy projects in Virginia.

In March 2008, he surrendered his dental license after being convicted of healthcare fraud and spent 19 months in Federal Prison and 2 months in a halfway house. Dr. Shelburne voluntarily surrendered his license to practice dentistry on July 14, 2008 and his license to practice dentistry was reinstated on December 1, 2011 by the Virginia Board of Dentistry. During the period of revocation, the Virginia Dental Association arranged for Dr. Shelburne’s membership in the VDA/ADA to remain active although his license to practice was revoked. Dr. Shelburne continues to volunteer for various dental mission projects in Virginia, has spoken at various national, state, and local dental meetings and conducts confidential “mock chart audits” for private dental practices, helping them identify their areas of vulnerability. He shares with his dental audiences about his mistakes, what he learned as a result, and how to avoid them. “It is a wise man who learns from his mistakes, but a wiser man still that learns from another’s.”
