The ADEA Academic Dental Careers Fellowship Program (ADCFP) was founded with the goal of providing students and residents the opportunity to become involved in an academia by providing structured mentoring and insight into what an academic career involves. Through the research requirements and active mentoring for faculty, the program is designed to create a pathway for those who may be considering entering an academic career. Students work with faculty mentors on the following:
• Interviewing faculty and administrators about academic careers
• Conducting educational research and presenting abstracts/posters
• Teaching in classrooms, labs, clinics and at seminars
• Writing career reflection essays
• Attending to selected Faculty Meetings
On April, application forms will be available for UPR Dental Medicine students with interest on this program.
The contact persons to request ADCFP applications forms are:
