NEMTP was developed in 1991 to easily and effectively meet the hands-on continuing education requirement for AGD Mastership.

Since the program's inception, a new Master Track group starts, consisting of approximately 25-30 participants, every 2 1/2 years and goes through a series of 10 courses to fulfill the 360-hour mandatory and 40-hour elective discipline participation requirements.

Programs are given in the spring and fall of each year over a period of 5 years throughout New England--with a final presentation at the eleventh session.

Each course starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. The first two days are devoted to lecture on a specific discipline or set of disciplines. The third day is spent presenting the results of your course assignment from the previous meeting.

If you are already an AGD Fellow you know the value of continuing education. Mastership in the AGD not only commands respect, and the prestige associated with advancing your dental education to the highest AGD level, it also equips you with the most up-to-date knowledge in those areas of dentistry most applicable to providing comprehensive care.

NEMTP provides you with outstanding, University-based instructors, from area dental schools such as BU, Harvard, Tufts and UCONN, as well as other nationally recognized leaders in their field, who give a complete series of hands-on courses. These courses meet all the required participation credits for AGD Mastership in a close-knit, study group environment. These programs are often difficult to find on an individual basis and would require more time and expense if done outside of a standardized format.

The NEMTP tuition is $6250, currently divided over 10-three day courses and a final presentation day (presently each session costs $625, exclusive of room and board), making the per hour cost of continuing education a real bargain. This is especially true if you consider the quality of the courses and the pearls one always picks up talking with other dentists in a close environment! Because NEMTP is a study group format, it must be emphasized that once you join the Track you will be financially obligated whether you can attend a particular weekend or not. Sessions missed can be made up at no extra charge during the subsequent track.

Any member of the AGD who is progressing towards or has obtained a Fellowship status may subscribe to this package. Most members come from New England, New York and Eastern Canada.
