The Academy of General Dentistry was founded in 1962 as an organization whose main objective was to foster and encourage continuing dental education. The Academy established two awards--the Fellowship and Mastership--that would honor those members who were committed to and completed a prescribed number of hours in the continuing education. In order to earn a Fellowship, it is necessary to obtain 500 hours of any type of C.D.E. From there to Mastership status requires another 200 hours of lecture and 400 hours in participation-type courses. The hands-on requirement was built into the Mastership program because it is general knowledge in academic circles that the only way to really learn any technique is to actually sit down and do the mechanics after understanding the principles and goals that the student is trying to accomplish.
