Workshop Overview
Course Overview
Credentialing in the AOS is an excellent way to highlight your professional orthodontic proficiency. Less than 1% of dentists have completed the rigorous effort required to become a Diplomate with the American Orthodontic Society. The American Orthodontic Society offers one of the oldest and most recognized accreditation programs for general and pediatric dentists in the practice of orthodontics.
Our review course is taught by our team of instructors and examiners for our members striving to reach their fellowship status within the AOS. This course will help you on your way to becoming a Fellow in the Academy of Diplomates, the credentialing arm of the AOS.
This course includes a written exam at the end which is required for Fellow and Diplomate candidates.
