Your Path to AADOM Distinctions
The Fellowship distinction is the first level of distinction offered by AADOM. Earning this credential recognizes dental office managers who have demonstrated their commitment to professional growth, leadership, and excellence in practice management. Fellows complete required coursework, attend the AADOM conference, and actively contribute to their dental community—showcasing both knowledge and dedication to advancing the profession.
The Mastership designation is the second level of distinction awarded by the American Association of Dental Office Management. It recognizes dental leaders who have already achieved Fellowship (FAADOM) and continue their journey of advanced education, leadership, and professional growth. Earning MAADOM demonstrates a commitment to excellence in dental practice management and highlights the dedication to elevating both the profession and the teams they lead.
The Diplomate distinction is the highest level of achievement within the American Association of Dental Office Management. Earning this honor recognizes a dental practice leader’s commitment to lifelong learning, advanced leadership, and contributions to the dental management profession. Diplomates serve as mentors, innovators, and role models, embodying the pinnacle of excellence in dental office administration.
