Support signals Association's commitment to dental education, academic careers

The American Dental Association Council on Dental Education and Licensure is granting three full-tuition scholarships to the Academy for Advancing Leadership's Institute for Teaching and Learning.

The scholarships are part of a commitment to support dental education and ADA general dentist members interested in serving full or part time in dental academia.

The Institute for Teaching and Learning is a four-day on-site program with class discussions, small-group projects, problem-solving exercises, observation and critique of teachers in action, self-directed coursework, peer feedback, and presentations by institute scholars.

The 2023 program will take place Aug. 13-16 at ADA Headquarters in Chicago. Although individuals may apply at any time during the year, the 2023 deadline is April 10. Scholarships will be granted by May 13. Each scholarship totals $3,500.
