Working Together

The Oral Health Foundation of the Pierre Fauchard Academy works closely with The Pierre Fauchard Academy (PFA).

The Pierre Fauchard Academy is an international dental honor organization that recognizes leaders and future leaders in the profession. Founded in 1936, the PFA has over 7000 Fellows around the world. The honor of fellowship is conferred on those dentists who have demonstrated that they have ‘served’ and/or have great potential for service and leadership. Fellowship is extended to fewer than 3% internationally whom colleagues have recognized as the best. Fellowship is by nomination only.

PFA Fellows focus on professionalism, integrity, and ethics worldwide. PFA Fellows serve as worthy role models, advance dentistry to the highest level, support and honor colleagues for their distinguished work, conduct research, support public service, and provide excellence in programs, education, and leadership in oral health care. Fellowship in the PFA does not end with a certificate on the wall and a pin on a lapel. This fellowship will serve as a catalyst for Fellows to want to be, do, and give more in service to family, profession, and community.

PFA Fellows have access to a growing online collection of leadership programs and receive Dental Abstracts and Dental World, the official journal of the PFA.

The administrative office of the Academy is located in Rockville, MD, U.S.A
