These rules require financial statement recognition of the impact of a tax position if a position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The rules also provide guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, transition, and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions, including those related to unrelated business income. The adoption of the new rules had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The federal tax returns for tax years ending May 31, 2007 and later remain subject to examination by taxing authorities. true North America 0 0 Program Services advance orthodontics 465000 0 0 465000 TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS - FOREIGN North America 1 30000 WIRE & CHECK 0 SCH F - International Activities SCH F - Part 1 - Line 2 AAO receives membership dues and other receipts from international members.

The orthodontic education faculty shortage is an AAO critical issue, and in response the leadership has focused on key strategies to eliminate the faculty shortage by reducing the student debt for dental education. Purpose and objectives of the Fellowship include: Increase the pool of orthodontic educators. Provide Fellowship funds to reduce debt by covering orthodontic program tuition and/or living expenses in an effort to stimulate interest in orthodontic education careers among current students, residents and junior faculty. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the Fellowship program will be measured and assessed by data collection that will include: 1) number of Fellows, 2) number of new orthodontic faculty members generated as a result of the Fellowship, and 3) number of Fellows who complete a minimum of two years of orthodontic teaching.

For each year of Fellowship program participation, the recipient will agree to teach orthodontics for a corresponding number of years at an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited orthodontic graduate program. Recipients may receive up to five years of Fellowship support at an average of $30,000 per year. For example the Fellowship award is based on the number of years at $30,000 each and not to exceed five years or $150,000 e.g., 3 years x $30,000 = $90,000 total funding. Fellowship funds will be distributed in equal or unequal annual payments to fit the needs of the individual recipient for a period of up to five years as determined at the time of the Fellowship application.
