Career Development & Transition
The Army Dental Care System ensures dental readiness and supports Soldiers whether they are in garrison or are deployed in a combat environment. To accomplish this mission requires a team of professionals, including:
- Active-duty and Reserve Dental and Medical Service Corps officers
- Noncommissioned officers and enlisted Soldiers
- Civilian and contract employees
Individuals who want to gain professional skills or to advance into leadership roles have career development and education opportunities throughout their military careers. And … when it’s time to leave military service and return to civilian life, there are resources to help them make that military-to-civilian transition.
AAD Mentoring
AAD members have the knowledge, expertise and desire to help mentor active-duty and transitioning personnel. Many of them have pursued the military and professional career development opportunities that were available to them or have successfully transitioned into civilian careers.
If you have questions about serving in the military as a member of the Army Dental Care Team or are considering transitioning into a career in the civilian dental community, please send your request, along with your name, email address and preferred phone number to: assoc.army.dentistry@gmail.com. We will contact a member who has offered to be a mentor and ask him or her to reach out to you.
