iADH is delighted to announce the launch of its fellowship programme for 2024.
There are many benefits to becoming an IADH Fellow and any iADH Member who has held their membership for at least three years is eligible to apply. The fellowship is open to iADH members from all specialities including general practice and dental public health including allied healthcare professionals and a range of professionals and researchers within health and social care.
Why would I apply for a fellowship?
Members requested the fellowship to recognise and document excellence in the field of Disability and Oral Health amongst its membership. This was especially important to those members living in areas where Special Care Dentistry was not a speciality, or remained an emerging discipline requiring recognition of those people working across other disciplines.
The fellowship is designed to acknowledge and evidence members expertise, knowledge, activity, advocacy and action in working towards better oral health for people with disabilities and disadvantages. iADH fellowship is NOT a formal exam - but assessment is via submission of a structured in depth portfolio style application form which is assessed by three independent expert adjudicators.
