Outstanding Senior Award Criteria

It is suggested that the American Academy of Orofacial Pain Outstanding Senior Award be presented to an outstanding student who has demonstrated the greatest commitment and interest to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and orofacial pain. The Academy is interested in honoring students with special interest and skill in our field and to encourage students to further their education in 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.  

To ensure that the award is received in a timely matter please allow at least 21 days for production and mailing of your award from the date that your nominee has been submitted to AAOP.
