Fellowship Review Course and Exam

We applaud you for the hard work you’ve done completing your requirements for Fellowship. You’ve put in tremendous work and it will not go unnoticed. Take the next step in preparation by signing up for the Fellowship Review Course and Exam offered exclusively at AGD 2016.

A two-day Fellowship Review Course will be offered from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. July 13 and July 14, 2016. The Fellowship Review Course is designed to provide a refresher in 17 dental disciplines, as well as to assist members in preparing for the Fellowship Exam.

The Fellowship Review Course is a review of material, techniques, and practices in general dentistry. AGD members may sit for this course as part of their preparation for the Fellowship Exam; however, taking this course does not guarantee that a member will pass the exam. 

Candidates may refresh their knowledge of basic clinical information in the 17 areas of general dentistry covered in the exam by attending the Fellowship Review Course.
