FELLOWSHIP IN THE ADAA
Reach for the new National Standard ofExcellence in Dental Assisting
Thousands of dental assisting professionals have proven their skill and dedicationthrough earning the Certified Dental Assistant or Registered Dental Assistant creden-tial. Now, the ADAA is offering Fellowship, a challenging path to:
• Increased value to your patients and practice
• Enhanced confidence in your dental assisting capabilities
• Public recognition of your professional achievement
• Increased professional status
• Satisfaction of increased education
• Building self–esteem
Patterned after the renowned recognition programs of the Academy of GeneralDentistry, this recognition program encourages a higher level of skill that ultimately benefits all — the patient, the assistant and the doctor.
To become a Fellow of the ADAA, a dental assistant must hold ADAA Active mem-bership prior to application and must accrue 300 hours of continuing education creditafter enrolling in the program.
Those who are already Certified Dental Assistants are halfway to achieving Fellowshipand automatically receive 150 hours of credit upon enrolling. (Exception: CDPMA earns 100 points). Those holding Registered Dental Assistant status from a state may apply for RDA credit (awarded on a state–by–state basis according to establishedcriteria).
Upon successfully completing the Fellowship Program, enrollees are recognized at ADAA Annual Conferences. National recognition is provided through the ADAA’s pro-fessional journal, and press releases announce the awarding of the Fellowships tohometown media and relevant professional associations.
Fellowship is a program of many benefits, not only for you, the dental assistant, butalso for the patients you serve and the doctors with whom you work. And as a certi-fied or registered assistant, your achievements and skills are recognized andrewarded. As the profession of dental assisting moves forward, you can move for- ward too. Take a step in an upward direction: Strive for higher achievement and morerecognition as you become a Fellow of the American Dental Assistants Association.
