IAAH Fellowship
Registration Now Open!
A new standard for advancing the
role of the dental hygienist in airway focused care.
The International Association of Airway Hygienists is proud to introduce the IAAH Fellowship, an advanced professional development experience for dental hygienists who are ready to take their knowledge of airway health beyond continuing education and into meaningful clinical application.
This is more than just another course.
The IAAH Fellowship is a structured journey from knowledge to application, includes areas of reflection and collaboration, and ultimately leads to personal and professional growth.
Why the IAAH Fellowship?
The IAAH Fellowship provides dental hygienists with advanced education in airway health, combining comprehensive coursework, clinical experience, and mentorship to develop skills in evaluating orofacial function, incorporating myofunctional principles, and supporting a more comprehensive approach to patient care.
