Dr. Kit E. Burkich, DDS, recently received a Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry, a level achieved by less than 2% of general dentists.
The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), a Chicago-based professional association of more than 37,000 general dentists dedicated to providing quality dental care and oral health education to the public, announce that Kit E. Burkich, DDS, MAGD of Queensbury received the association’s 2012 Mastership Award.
The award was given during the group’s annual meeting in June in Philadelphia.
The award is the highest honor available at the AGD and one of the most respected designations within the profession. To accomplish this goal, Burkich completed 1,100 hours of continuing dental education.
As a recipient of the award, Burkich joins more than 2,300 active AGD masters who understand that providing great smiles and good oral health for their patients are the result of going above and beyond basic requirements.
“We are proud to honor Dr. Burkich for her commitment to continuing education in her quest to provide quality dental care and oral health education to her patients,” said AGD President Jeffrey M Cole. “There are more than 169,000 general dentists in the United States and Canada and less than 2 percent of those are masters with the AGD. It’s a remarkable accomplishment for Dr. Burkich.”
Burkich graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in 1984 and currently practices dentistry in Queensbury.
Burkich is a member of the American Dental Association, New York State Dental Association, Upper Hudson Dental Society, and American Association of Women Dentists.
