The Korean Academy of Periodontology (KAP) is implementing a global fellowship program with the objective of enhancing the proficiency of dentists from low- and middle-income countries within the field of periodontology. We aim to facilitate the improvement of oral health in these countries by fostering an exchange of valuable skills and knowledge within periodontology. The annual World Bank classification of countries by income level serves as our reference to identify the low- and middle-income countries. It is our hope that this endeavor will solidify the role of KAP as a global leader in periodontology.
