Description
The American Association of Endodontists Foundation’s Endodontic Educator Fellowship Award recognizes the critical role educators play in strengthening the specialty. It supports individuals pursuing full-time academic careers in endodontics at dental schools accredited by, or holding a reciprocal agreement with, the American Dental Association’s Commission on Dental Accreditation.
The fellowship supports a sustained teaching career rather than a specific research study or stand-alone project. Recipients commit at least five years to academic endodontics and receive annual funding tied to continued full-time employment. The program also includes attendance at the AAE annual meeting and professional development through the Institute for Teaching and Learning, which focuses on teaching skills, student outcomes, and interactions with students.
