Introduction:
This initiative aims to cultivate a group of global young leaders committed to applying innovative strategies to enhance oral health in underserved regions. We trust that continued development of these young leaders early in their careers will support exponential growth for access to oral health worldwide.
Through a nine-month course, participants engage in virtual presentations, mentorship sessions with global health experts, and networking with AOHAB alumni, culminating in a project presentation at an academic healthcare conference.
Applicants are expected to propose projects addressing oral health challenges in their communities and outline data to support project development. Our lectures and committee members will help you refine for final presentation.
Alumni of the program are empowered to have a significant impact on the future oral health general well being of their communities’.
