Foundation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Master Clinician Program Scholarships
Due to the overwhelming continued success of the scholarship program of the Pediatric Dentistry Master Clinician Program, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children: The Foundation of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry is pleased to again offer five scholarships to be part of this exciting program for 2012.
A switch from an office practice to an academic career may seem like a daunting challenge - it needn't be. An academic career provides the practicing dentist a new opportunity to utilize their experiences in shaping the careers of the aspiring professional. Dentists that teach also have a greater opportunity to develop new techniques and innovations in care through research and scholarly activities and can also influence national dental education policies through service with the AAPD, ADA, ADEA, HRSA and NIDCR.
Other benefits of an academic career include improving access to oral health care through community service, mentoring of residents, full- or part-time employment with benefits and personal and professional growth.
Selected candidates will attend the Academy for Academic Leadership's Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL) held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - School of Dentistry. The 2012 dates for Phase I are August 16-19, 2012 and Phase II will be held October 19 - 21, 2012. Scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to attend the AAPD Comprehensive Review of Pediatric Dentistry course in the location of their choice.
The deadline for submitting applications is March 16, 2012.
