Dr. Kate Bazydlo earned Fellowship status in The International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) on April 15, 2010. The awarding of Fellowship status is an honour which a professional society such as the ICOI bestows on a dental professional involved in dental implant treatment. The ICOI has a Fellowship program in which active members are encouraged to achieve Fellowship status through their efforts in education, research and actual clinical experience. The International Congress of Oral Implantologists is a worldwide dental educational organization dedicated to communicating scientific knowledge and improving the clinical practice of dental implantology worldwide. It conducts numerous scientific symposia each year and supports research and education through its Implant Dentistry Research and Education Foundation (IDREF).
