MasterTrack Program
For over 12 years the Tennessee Academy of General Dentistry has sponsored a MasterTrack program that members who have attained their Fellowship award can work towards their Mastership award.
This program meets twice a year and is designed
to meet the requirements for Mastership award in approximately four
years of continuous involvement. The continuing education meets for
three days to cover a specific area of dentistry. The instructor
gives an assignment to be completed in the participant’s office and
documentation via photograph then present the assignment to fellow
MasterTrack attendees.
The requirements for Mastership can be found by clicking the below AGD site. The Tennessee MasterTrack is designed so that if the participant goes through the four year cycle they will have met all the requirements for this award.
MasterTrack courses
typically offer 21-23 hours of (participation credit with submitted
homework, lecture without) and up to an additional 23 hours of
participation with homework presentation. Courses are offered
in the areas of Basic Sciences, Endodontics, Pediatrics, Special
Care, Orthodontics, Esthetics, Removable Prosthodontics, Oral
Surgery, TMD/ Occlusion, Operative, Fixed & Removable
Prosthodontics, Implants, Oral Med/ Diagnosis, and
Periodontics. At any time dentists can enroll in the
MasterTrack program. The MasterTrack concept is to present
courses over a five year period that when completed will provide
dentists with the appropriate number of participation credits for
application for the AGD Masters award. Four hundred hours out
of a total of six hundred hours must be of participation coursework
in order to apply for the Masters award. These hours are over
and above those hours necessary for Fellowship. We are
planning a Oral Surgery/ Anatomy and Endodontic MasterTracks
for next year.

Already have your Masters? Working
towards LLSR?
The Tennessee AGD Board has approved a
new program for those members who already have their Masters Award.
Tennessee AGD members who have received their Masters will be
allowed (space permitting) to attend MasterTrack courses and get
credit for the participation for the weekend receiving hour for hour
credit for half of the MasterTrack fee.
No homework will be required and attendance of homework
sessions will be optional for all masters attending.
We would encourage Masters or those soon to be to stay
connected and involved with the AGD in
