Which membership is required for AGD Fellowship eligibility?

To be eligible for Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), one must hold a membership in the Academy of General Dentistry itself. This requirement ensures that candidates are officially recognized as part of the AGD community, which emphasizes the importance of ongoing education and professionalism in general dentistry.

The Academy is dedicated to advancing the field through resources, support, and advocacy specifically for general dentists. By maintaining a membership within the AGD, individuals can stay informed about the latest practices, advancements, and opportunities for professional development, making it central to achieving fellowship status.

Consequently, while other organizations like the American Dental Association and the National Dental Association play significant roles in the dental profession, they are not requirements for AGD Fellowship. The focus specifically on AGD membership highlights the organization's unique mission and commitment to general practitioners.
