The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) recently announced that its Fellowship and Mastership awards deadline has been extended from December 31, 2006 to March 1, 2007. This extension provides AGD members with two additional months to participate in the AGD¹s prestigious 2007 convocation ceremony which will be held on a new venue, the flight deck of the celebrated USS Midway, which overlooks San Diego Bay. The convocation ceremony will take place as part of the AGD¹s annual meeting.
³This new deadline extension provides our members with extra time to pass the exam, earn continuing education (CE) credits and submit an award application,² says AGD President Bruce DeGinder, DDS, MAGD. ³I would encourage all members that are within reach of their Fellowship or Mastership to participate in this exciting opportunity.²
The AGD Convocation and the Premier Celebration will be held on the afternoon and evening of Sat., June 30, 2007. After the convocation ceremony, the festivities will continue on board the USS Midway with constituent and regional celebrations.
³We added a number of new enhancements to our 2007 AGD Annual Meeting & Exhibits,² says Paul Bussman, DMD, FAGD, chair of the AGD¹s Council on Annual Meetings and International Conferences. ³Members who attend this convocation event can cap off an unforgettable evening with family and friends with our premier celebration which will feature fireworks, food and fun.²
To make arrangements, members can visit the AGD Web site, www.agd.org to complete a Fellowship or Mastership application by the deadline of March 1, 2007. The AGD Fellowship exam is available at Prometric Centers throughout the United States and Canada. Prometric centers feature convenient locations, flexible hours, and immediate test results.
The AGD also provides a new Fellowship Exam Study Buddy Forum, available on the AGD¹s Web site to help members prepare for the exam. This Web forum helps to facilitate the open exchange of study tips, resource materials, or simply to pose questions.
The AGD¹s Council on Examinations also monitors the forum to help answer any questions related to the examination that might arise. The Fellowship Exam Study Buddy Forum can be found at http://forums.agd.org/agd_studybuddy.
