Call for Reviewers

The best way to understand the peer-review process is to become a volunteer reviewer. Serving as a reviewer provides valuable insight into the proposal process and an understanding of what separates successful proposals from those not chosen for programming at the  2026 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition.

In addition, reviewers are exposed to the latest and best ideas emerging in dental education.

All dental, advanced and allied dental faculty and students are encouraged to volunteer.

Benefits of Being a Reviewer

• Receive recognition in our Annual Session & Exhibition program planner.
• Mentor authors by giving constructive feedback.
• Gain insight on new ideas and innovations.
• Experience intellectual satisfaction.
• Understand the work and efforts of the Annual Session programming process.

The review process will begin on June 4, 2025.
