Requirements for Fellowship:
1. Be an Active Member of the AAOP,
2. Be a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain in good standing, and
3. Provide two letters of recommendation from AAOP Fellow Members
Fellowship is the highest achievement and expertise that AAOP offers. By becoming a Fellow, you not only elevate your own professional standing but also contribute to the strength and influence of the AAOP. It enables you to participate fully in the development of the orofacial pain field, as only Fellows can vote on motions related to the orofacial pain specialty. Student Members must become Active Members before they can apply for Fellowship. Maintenance of Fellowship is dependent on regular payment of dues to the AAOP and on being an ABOP diplomate in good standing.
