Dr. Christine Benoit Elected a Master of the International College of Dentists
We would
like to congratulate our very own Dr. Christine Benoit for the most prestigious
honor of being elected a Master of the International College of Dentists (ICD).
The International College of Dentists is the Preeminent Global Dental Honor
Society recognizing outstanding professional achievement and meritorious
service while advocating for Humanitarian and Educational Initiatives.
This
Master Fellowship recognizes Dr. Benoit's distinguished achievements in the art
and science of dentistry, her eminent contributions to the dental profession,
and appreciates her outstanding services rendered to the College over the span of
two decades.
Dr. Benoit was elected a Fellow in 1995 and has served the College in many capacities ever since.
In 2011,
Dr. Benoit was elected to serve on the International Council and continued
until 2020. During an interim year, she was the ICD Programs Manager for the
Worldwide College. She now serves as Projects Committee Chair and is
instrumental in promoting antibiotic resistance awareness, appropriate use of
antibiotics, and stewardship to ICD Fellows throughout the world.
Prior to
being awarded Master Fellowship, Dr. Benoit received the ICD Meritorious Award
in recognition of leadership with the College's educational programs in 2018,
and the ICD USA Section District One Distinguished Service Award in 2015.
Although
retired from clinical practice as a general dentist, Dr. Benoit is still very
active in the ICD as well as three additional oral health non-profit foundation

Congratulations Dr. Benoit on
your achievements with the ICD! We applaud you for your exceptional service to
the profession of Dentistry!
