The Illinois Academy of General Dentistry in conjunction with the Wisconsin Academy of General Dentistry are pleased to present programs leading to Mastership certification in the Academy. To complete the Mastership Program, candidates must enroll for 600 hours of continuing education, 400 of which must be of participatory nature.

These programs, brought to you by the Illinois AGD & Wisconsin AGD earn 18 hours of participation credit for those who attend the 2 days of lecture and hands-on. 40 total hours of participation credit to those who attend the 2 days of lecture and hands on, complete the assigned protocol in their office, and return to document the protocol assignment. The reporting session for in-office protocols from previous Mastertrack sessions will be held at 1:00pm on the Thursday prior to the MasterTrack course. We request that those wishing to report on protocols from past Mastertrack sessions notify Dr. Sy Wachtenheim in advance.

These hands-on programs were designed originally for AGD Fellows striving to be AGD Masters. We have since discovered that these programs can be valuable to all dentists from new graduates to the most experienced clinicians.

Upcoming MasterTrack Dates are as follows:

Sept. 25 - 27, 2008   Dr. Karl Koerner, Oral Surgery, Hootman Lab, Rockford, IL
