Student Members – Start an AGD Student Chapter at your School!
The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Student Chapters is to work with AGD constituents to provide dental students with
an introduction to organized dentistry, the Fellowship program and to assist them with transitioning into dental practice with the
intent of lifelong learning through affiliation with their local AGD constituent. AGD Student Chapters are educationally-based
constituent activities designed to recruit and retain dental students, bring them together with their local AGD constituent, and
provide them with an early start toward Fellowship.
How it Helps the Student
• Provides an avenue for students to learn about and participate in the AGD early in their career
• Allows the student to experience the camaraderie of the AGD
• Embraces mentorship
• Enhances the continuing education experience early in the student’s career
• Introduces the value of the AGD transcript to the student
• Allows the student to graduate with CE credits already on their AGD transcript
• Introduces the student to members/contacts who may help him/her transition into practice.
For additional information on how to start a AGD Chapter at your school, please contact Paula Bostick, Executive Director at
paulaj@nysagd.org or 718-747-3353.
