Brief Description of the Project
The Orthodontic Faculty Complete Development Plan aims to
provide an all-encompassing approach to enriching and
enhancing my orthodontic academic’s abilities in four main categories: education, research,
teaching and clinical skills. Each of these categories consists of short-term and long-term goals
with specific aims and objectives to create a holistic approach to an all-rounded academic
career.
How Orthodontic Education will Benefit from this Award
As a full-time career academic, funding additional programs to enhance and improve my
abilities and skills can be a challenging task. This award allows me to participate in programs,
courses and workshops to enrich my ability to become a better academic and educator which in
turn will have direct benefits for my students. It also facilitates the opportunities to network
and collaborate with like-minded academics and educators in the field for the greater good of
improving orthodontic education.
Why the Foundation is Important to the Project
It is no secret that the AAOF has been funding a variety of orthodontic awards over many years.
The Foundation’s support is pivotal to not only enhancing the awardee’s career but enriching
the overall level of orthodontic education. As the AAOF has assisted many full-time academics
in their career, so will it also assist me in mine.
