4 Application Process for Fellowship August 1 and Dec 1 of each year is the deadline for Fellowship applications (new or renewals) to be on file at the IARE office at Belgaum. Applicants for Fellowship are required to furnish all information considered necessary for the review and evaluation of their endodontic practice. They should also be willing to undergo an evaluation of their practice by their peers. The IARE Admissions Committee will decide whether the requirements for membership are satisfied and will make the final decision regarding the applicant s eligibility for Fellowship. It may, at its discretion, defer any application until all requirements are met. The application process is as follows: a. Submit a completed application and include the application fee; b. Sign an agreement to abide by the rules and regulations of IARE; c. Provide as references, the names of two Fellows of the IARE (or your collegues) who know the applicant. References may be asked to complete a questionnaire evaluating the applicant s ability to provide quality endodontic treatment, as well as the applicant s professional and ethical standing in the community. Note: Fellows of the IARE may request a Fellowship application process be initiated or a dentist who, in their opinion, qualifies for Fellowship. The Committee may, at any time, modify the requirements for Fellowship. Evaluation of Applicants for Fellowship Evaluation of applicants for Fellowship is based on information relating to the applicant s endodontic experience, professional competence and ethical conduct. Such information is obtained from the application, from the references provided by the applicant, from the IARE committee, and from other relevant sources. Incomplete applications will be returned and the applicant will be invited to submit a completed application for consideration the following year. IARE respects the privacy of the applicant and provides information concerning the status of an application only to the applicant or those involved in the evaluation. In some instances, IARE may request an interview with the applicant. When this occurs, the committee constituted for this purpose will provide a written report and recommendations to the IARE regarding the applicant s eligibility for Fellowship.

This will give the applicant an opportunity to acquire further knowledge or additional experience; 3. Denied Fellowship. Following a denial, an applicant may submit a new application after a waiting period of one year. Successful applicants will be granted Fellowship by the Chairman of IARE and so notified by letter by December/March 31 of the subsequent to the application submission.
