Dr. Jeffrey Finegold earned his DMD degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1979. After graduation he completed a General Practice Residency at the Brockton V.A. Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts. Dr. Finegold then came back to his hometown of Portland, Maine in 1981 and started his own private dental practice.  During his years in Portland, Dr. Finegold was involved in, among other things, setting up and staffing the dental clinic at the Jewish Home for the Aged (now Cedars), and volunteering as a proctor at the hygiene clinic at Westbrook College. Outside the realm of dentistry, he was active for many years on the Board of Directors of the Jewish Community Center, serving as President from 1987-1989. Since transitioning out of private practice, Dr. Finegold has greatly enjoyed his role in academia; he has been a faculty member at 91AV since the CDM enrolled its inaugural class in the fall of 2013.
