Dr. Frank Schiano, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of General Dentistry at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM), GSDM alum (CAS 01, DMD 06, AEGD 07), and Alumni Board member, was honored at the 2014 Annual Meeting & Exhibits of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), where he received the Academy’s prestigious 2014 Fellowship.

Dr. Schiano qualified for this Fellowship by demonstrating a commitment to the dental profession by completing 500 hours of dental continuing education, passing a comprehensive exam, and maintaining his membership in AGD for at least three consecutive years.

AGD President W. Carter Brown congratulated Schiano and the other Fellowship recipients by saying, “These individuals have distinguished themselves professionally among their peers, and they are role models for their colleagues and communities.”

“I want to thank Drs. Jones, Kong, and Guarente for all of their personal and professional support over the years. Their dedication to faculty development helped make my goal of Fellowship a reality,” said Dr. Schiano.
