Patterson Dental supports dental professionals through its partnership with the American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM), including sponsorship of scholarships for office administrators to attend AADOM’s annual conference. The scholarship program is designed to help recipients build career skills, learn from industry thought leaders, and connect with peers. Awards described in the program include conference admission, a three-night hotel stay, up to $600 in travel expenses, and a dinner hosted by Patterson for scholarship winners.

The partnership also highlights professional development resources available through AADOM. These include webinars on practice management, human resources, leadership, and regulatory changes such as HIPAA and OSHA; a private online forum where office managers can exchange advice; and the AADOM Fellowship program, which recognizes managers who complete a demanding course of classes and activities. Patterson Dental’s involvement reflects a focus on supporting education and career growth within dental practice management.
