Teaching Fellowships
Full-time faculty are the backbone of the dental professional educational process, bearing responsibility for predoctoral and postdoctoral periodontal education. The recruitment and retention of full-time faculty is one of the most pressing problems facing periodontal
education. The Teaching Fellowships were first established to address this concern by a major grant to the AAP Foundation by the American Academy of Periodontology, whose members continue to support it through their unrestricted support and gifts to the Education Action Fund. These Fellowships are intended to underwrite educational debt relief for young periodontal faculty. The award is not intended to replace support that would normally have been provided by the recipient’s institution.
