CHICAGO, IL / NEW YORK, NY, USA: The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) recently announced that 326 dentists have earned its prestigious Fellowship and Mastership awards. The Fellowship and Mastership awards were bestowed during a special Convocation ceremony at the AGD 2010 Annual Meeting & Exhibits, held 8 to 11 July in New Orleans, LA, USA.
“We are proud to honor all of the 2010 recipients for their commitment to continuing education and the dental profession,” said AGD President Fares M. Elias, DDS, JD, FAGD. “They have distinguished themselves professionally amongst their peers and demonstrate the characteristics of a role model to their fellow dentists and to the members of the community.”
This year, the AGD awarded Fellowship awards to 238 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, doctors must complete 500 hours of continuing dental education, pass a comprehensive exam and fulfill three years of continuous membership in the AGD. To date, approximately 15,000 AGD members have earned Fellowship honors.
This year, an additional 88 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, doctors must complete 1,100 hours of continuing dental education. To date, approximately 2,700 AGD members have earned Mastership honors.
Dentists who have earned Fellowship or Mastership from the AGD reflect less than 1 per cent of all general dentists practicing in the United States and Canada.
