Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://www.climed.org/education-model daily 0.75 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff0eeb850339566e9b8571a/1612852112223-RGEQDR04KTYJY7T0HAQS/Screen+Shot+2021-02-08+at+10.19.46+PM.png Education Model - Educational conceptual model for climate change course The research literature including our own work provide insights into the essential elements required to create change in attitudes and behavior.
