The ADEAGies Foundation/AADR Academic Dental Careers Fellowship Program (ADEAGies/AADR ADCFP) provides students attending all U.S. and Canadian dental schools with an opportunity to experience the benefits and rewards of teaching. The program encourages and prepares students to enter academic dentistry through:
- Seminars at the AADR and ADEA Annual Sessions aimed at identifying dental and allied dental students interested in pursuing academic careers
- The selection of ten students each year for a year-long fellowship experience about academic dental careers
- Mentor training and support programs utilizing dental school faculty
- External partnerships to expand and sustain ADCFP
