Earn the Recognition You Deserve

DOCS Fellowship [FDOCS] and Diplomate [DDOCS] status are prestigious titles awarded to members who exceed expectations in their clinical and academic training. These designations are reserved for those who have completed the highest levels of DOCS Education's curriculum and demonstrated a sustained dedication to safe, effective, and compassionate sedation dentistry.

Holding an FDOCS or DDOCS title means you're not only mastering the science and art of sedation — you're helping to lead it.
