In addition to the tireless efforts of numerous member dentists throughout the years, who have made the MDA EFDA program what is is, we thank the following funders and allied businesses:

Grant Funders

In 2009, UMKC and MDA began updating the courses and delivery of the 15-year-old EFDA program curriculum through a multi-year grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH). in 2014, the MDA concluded another grant from MFH that supported the development of curriculum for the 2013 Restorative II rule.

Allied Dental Businesses

• Edmonds Dental Prosthetics donated denture setups to be used as a teaching tool for the Removable Prosthetics course and continues to donate crown and bridge preparations for the Fixed Prosthetics course, and/or provide discounts on course preps.
  
• Garrison Dental Solutions donated matrix systems for use in the MDA Restorative II course.
