American Board of Dental Public Health

Message to candidates scheduled for the 2020 ABDPH Examination:

The American Board of Dental Public Health (ABDPH) recognizes the impact of recent and emerging precautions in response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) and the potential consequences for the 2020 ABDPH examination.  Please know that we are actively exploring alternatives for administering the components of the examination and considering various scenarios related to holding the examination in conjunction with the National Oral Health Conference.  The Board is actively investigating options, taking into consideration fairness, timeliness, and feasibility. 

The Board will apply all examination fees paid towards these alternatives, but also will issue refunds upon request.  As COVID-related events unfold, the feasibility of certain alternatives also is changing.  We will be in contact with candidates as we have options in place for each component of the examination.

For updates on the NOHC, please monitor its website: https://www.eventscribe.com/2020/NOHC/.

 Questions related to the Conference should be directed to the contact at that website.  For questions about the ABDPH examination, contact: [email protected]

2020 Director-Elect Nominations

The American Board of Dental Public Health (ABDPH) is requesting Diplomates interested in serving on the ABDPH board to submit an application for the 2020 position of Director-Elect.

Applications will stay active for a total of three years. An applicant can withdraw his/her name from the selection process before the end of three years. In order to do so, he/she must notify the Executive-Director, ABDPH no later than January 1, of the year he/she does not want to be considered. A committee consisting of two current directors of the ABDPH, and two full member Diplomates appointed by AAPHD, will serve as the nominating committee. The committee will review all candidates and will determine a slate of two (2) or more Diplomates for the Director-Elect position. All active Diplomates, in good standing will be eligible to vote electronically from the slate of candidates.

The Board strives to reflect the scope of dental public health.  A balance of talents and competencies across the main areas of dental public health—administration, service delivery, health promotion, and research—are desired. The committee will therefore use the following when considering the slate of candidates for Director-Elect:

  1. Employment history (e.g., Federal, state, or local health agency; government; academia; private sector)

  2. Type(s) of job responsibilities (e.g., administration, teaching, consulting, research, patient care)

  3. Educational background (e.g., institutions from which the candidate earned his or her dental and public health training and where the candidate completed his or her residency program)

  4. Demographic information (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, current geographic location).

Director-Elect Nominee Form

Email a copy of the Director-Elect Nominee Form and CV to Dr. Ana Karina Mascarenhas, Executive Director, ABDPH, [email protected] no later than December 15th, 2019.
