ILAGD 2017 FAGD & MAGD RECIPIENTS HONORED

G.V. Black said, the father of modern restorative dentistry said, “The professional person has no right to be other than a continuous student.” This philosophy has been the driving force for the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) for more than 65 years, and continues to guide those looking to the future of the AGD and the dental community.
The AGD Fellowship and Mastership awards are among the most prestigious for general dentists. They represent a commitment to lifelong learning, quality patient care and professional responsibility. By earning this prestigious award, you have joined a distinguished group of your peers, who have also embraced the core principles of the AGD, and helped promote this ideology to the profession and public. Your unselfish commitment to provide the highest standard of care is notable and marks you as a true leader in our profession and worthy of this most recognized designation for professional excellence in the dental profession.
The Convocation ceremony, to honor the new AGD Fellow and Master recipients, took place on Saturday, July 15th at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. The following is a list of the newly honored Illinois Fellows and Masters:
