CHICAGO, IL, USA: The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) recently announced that 435 dentists have earned the AGD’s Fellowship and Mastership awards, which were bestowed during a special Convocation ceremony on July 30, 2011. The convocation was held at the AGD 2011 Annual Meeting & Exhibits, July 28 through 31, in San Diego, Calif.

“We are proud to honor all of the 2011 recipients for their commitment to continuing education and the dental profession,” said AGD President Howard Gamble, DMD, FAGD. “They have distinguished themselves professionally among their peers and they demonstrate the characteristics of a role model to their fellow dentists and to the members of the community.”

This year, the AGD awarded the Fellowship Award to 315 dentists. The Fellowship Award is presented to dentists who seek to provide the highest quality of dental care by remaining current in their profession. To receive this honor, the dentists must complete 500 hours of continuing dental education, pass a comprehensive exam, and fulfill three years of continuous membership in the AGD.

An additional 120 dentists received the AGD’s Mastership Award. The Mastership Award is the highest honor available at the AGD and one of the most respected designations within the dental profession. To receive this honor, the dentists must earn their Fellowship Award and complete an additional 1,100 hours of continuing dental education.

Dentists who have earned Fellowship or Mastership from the AGD make up a distinct group — they represent less than 1 percent of all general dentists practicing in the United States and Canada.
