FELLOWSHIP IN THE ADAA

Reach for the new National Standard of


Excellence in Dental Assisting
Thousands of dental assisting professionals have proven their skill and dedication
through earning the Certified Dental Assistant or Registered Dental Assistant credential. 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 selfesteem
Patterned after the renowned recognition programs of the Academy of General
Dentistry, 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 membership prior to application and must accrue 300 hours of continuing education credit
after enrolling in the program.
Those who are already Certified Dental Assistants are halfway to achieving Fellowship
and 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 statebystate basis according to established
criteria).
Upon successfully completing the Fellowship Program, enrollees are recognized at
ADAA Annual Conferences. National recognition is provided through the ADAAs professional journal, and press releases announce the awarding of the Fellowships to
hometown media and relevant professional associations.
Fellowship is a program of many benefits, not only for you, the dental assistant, but
also for the patients you serve and the doctors with whom you work. And as a certified or registered assistant, your achievements and skills are recognized and
rewarded. As the profession of dental assisting moves forward, you can move forward too. Take a step in an upward direction: Strive for higher achievement and more
recognition as you become a Fellow of the American Dental Assistants Association.
