ADA offers scholarships for teaching and leadership training program
Institute for Teaching and Learning to take place July 29-Aug. 1 in Atlanta
Several full-tuition scholarships are available for a teaching and leadership training program for dental educators and private practitioners interested in an academic career.
The ADA Council on Dental Education and Licensure is administering the scholarships to the Academy for Advancing Leadership's Institute for Teaching and Learning as part of the American Dental Association's commitment to supporting general dentist members who are interested in working in dental academia.
The four-day on-site program will take place July 29-Aug. 1 in Atlanta. The program includes class discussions, small-group projects, problem-solving exercises, observation and critique of teachers in action, self-directed coursework, peer feedback and presentations by institute scholars.
It also includes up to 35 hours of continuing education credit through the Commission for Continuing Education Provider Recognition and the Academy of General Dentistry PACE program.
The 2025 Institute for Teaching and Learning hosted 42 national and international dental educators, including seven who had received scholarships from the ADA Council on Dental Education and Licensure. This year’s class will bring the total number of participants in the institute to nearly 1,070.
The deadline to apply for the scholarships is March 20. For more information, including the complete list of criteria and eligibility requirements, visit ADA.org. To learn more about the institute, go to aalgroup.org/itl.
