SPONSORING CONTINUING EDUCATION FUND

In 2008, your AGD Foundation board committed to sponsoring AGD Annual meeting courses that are relevant to the mission, “dedicated to improving the oral health of the public and supporting the efforts of the general dentist.”

This year, during the 2009 Annual Meeting in Baltimore, your AGD Foundation will be sponsored several lecture courses that were dedicated to increasing access to care for many underserved populations. The courses included treating children, trauma patients, people with intellectual disabilities and geriatric patients.  Your AGD Foundation will continue to support future AGD Annual Meeting courses that target these populations.

The following courses held during the 2009 Annual Meeting & Exhibits held in Baltimore, MD were sponsored by the AGD Foundation.
