Mastery Program Exhibit Information
About the AADSM Mastery Program and Mastery 2 Practical Workshop
The AADSM Mastery Program is a comprehensive, clinically focused and evidence-based education program that provides dentists with the necessary training and skills they need to provide oral appliance therapy to patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. This program is limited to licensed dentists and consists of two courses (Mastery 1 and Mastery 2). Upon successful completion of the program, dentists will be eligible to sit for the ABDSM certification examination.The AADSM provides unbiased, standardized education and therefore does not reference any specific appliance or other product or service during its educational courses. Attendees of Mastery will instead become familiar with the Mastery Nomenclature for Device Classification, so industry is encouraged to refer to this document when corresponding with attendees.
Those who register for Mastery 2 are required to attend the Mastery 2 Practical Workshop. This experiential, two-day workshop will take place at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry in downtown Chicago, IL over four weekends in 2024: April 13-14, July 13-14, September 7-8, and October 5-6. Tabletop exhibits will be included at the university where attendees will take breaks and have meals.
The maximum number of attendees per workshop is 80. Exhibit space is extremely limited (7 companies per workshop) and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
