67 new Fellows inducted in the City of Churches

The Playford Hotel in Adelaide, was host to what is probably one of the most successful induction ceremonies that the Academy has witnessed. Friday 3rd May marked the day where 160 Fellows, friends and guests attended the always-bracingly early breakfast induction ceremony for Region VIII of the PFA.

International President, Dr Cheri Newman, and CEO, Ms Loralie Lowder, joined Past Presidents, Drs Mark Sinclair and Rick Sawers, in welcoming over 60 seriously-impressive colleagues to Fellowship.

Emerging Lecturer’s Competition

The PFA, in conjunction with the ADA, provides support for the Emerging Lecturer competition. The Academy would like to thank Dr Alan Broughton, for ensuring that our talented new colleagues had the opportunity to be part of the main Congress schedule. Once again, the standard was extremely high and the PFA thanks the judging panel comprising Drs Karin Alexander, Cheri Newman, Stephen Liew and Deb Cockrell.  Drs Suman Bellur, Linda Gu, Shahrukh Khan, Jilen Patel and Emilija Ports were in contention and, after much deliberation, Jilen was awarded the 2019 Emerging Lecturer (with Dr Linda Gu receiving the encouragement award).

As readers may know, the Pierre Fauchard Academy (PFA) is an honorary dental association that was established in 1936. Fellowship of any of the 120 plus Sections of PFA is by invitation. Existing Fellows can nominate colleagues to any of the Section Heads; please contact Drs Susan Wise (Vic/Tas), Dr Greg Gee (WA), Dr Chris Pazios (SA/NT), Dr Andrew Thomson (Qld) or Dr Deb Cockrell (NSW/ACT) for further details.
