AAOP Student Award Criteria

The American Academy of Orofacial Pain Outstanding Senior Award is presented to an outstanding student who has demonstrated the greatest commitment and interest to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and orofacial pain.

If a particular student is thought to be deserving of such a commendation, it is customary that you provide a letter indicating that you recommend that student for consideration of the AAOP award. The award consists of a certificate suitable for framing.
