< Click Here If You Missed Our Certification Program Introduction >



 How to get AAODLC.Org Certified:

The program is composed of Three Parts.   The first two parts are dedicated to General Associate full status membership. 

Part I requires six (6) months of Associate Membership, with 20 Credits of Category I course work, and 10 Credits of Category II course work.  Course work must be completed with AAODLC.Org Approved Providers to give you with the Knowledge Base needed to practice Basic Dental Legal Consulting Skills.

Part II requires completion of a formal on-line Certification Examination with a minimal score of 85%. Members are only allow to take the test after completion of all coursework. 


Certification by Credentials Only (Honorary Society Member Exemption):
 
The Third Part is reserved exclusively to members that we consider “Grandfathered” into the Dental Legal Consulting profession.  It is an exclusive privilege based upon nomination of other members, and is not open to General Membership. 

 
These are members who are exempt from course work and testing because these are the folks who basically “wrote the book on the subject.” Such individuals are at our highest level of membership. They are considered Members of the AAODLC Honorary Society for Life. AAODLC Honorary Society members may only be removed by majority vote.

Honorary Society Members have already demonstrated their dedication to our ideals -- either by Extensive Experience, Research, Publications, or by Merit and demonstrated Public Service.
