Abstract
The American Association for Dental Education (ADEA) is working on several initiatives to foster an interest in academic
careers. One of these strategies is a student fellowship aimed at allowing the student at the School of Dental Medicine to explore
early experiences in academia. In 2016, the School of Dental Medicine of the University of Puerto Rico (SDMUPR), Medical Sciences
Campus, began this fellowship. A pipeline of SDMUPR students with interest in pediatric dentistry and academics has evolved from
this initiative.
