Celebrating all Students Through the contributions of the PFA Oral Health Foundation, all participating student clinicians were invited to attend the PFA luncheon, where each receives a $1,000 scholarship in recognition of their dedication and academic achievement. “The Pierre Fauchard Academy is an international honour society comprised of dentists who are acknowledged for their professionalism and contributions to the dental profession,” says Dr. Carr. “These scholarships are fully funded by the Canadian PFA members through their dues and attendance at the convocation and awards luncheon. As the Canadian PFA Trustee it was an honour and pleasure to attend the CDA/ Dentsply Student Clinician Awards dinner on behalf of PFA Canada.” Mr. Rolando Dallarte and Dr. Rainer Seemann from Dentsply Sirona presented Certificates of Recognition to this year’s student clinicians, acknowledging their work, innovation and contribution to the profession. “The event highlights the best aspects of collaboration, ideas exchange and the future of oral health research,” says Dr. Baxter. “It’s inspiring to see the students engage with their projects, hone their communication skills, and have the opportunity to learn from each other.” By encouraging curiosity, collaboration and scientific excellence, the student research event continues to inspire the next generation of dental leaders. “These student clinicians are the leaders of tomorrow and most deserving of this recognition of their efforts,” concludes Dr. Carr. 17 Issue 3 | 2026 |
