How Can Dental Students Become Involved?
What is happening on Capitol Hill today will affect how you practice dentistry in the future. Legislation can affect where we practice, who compensates us, what materials we use and how we will practice. In the words of Dr. Jeff Parrish, former ADPAC chairman, “our political involvement is as critical as any continuing education we might take.” Joining ADPAC demonstrates that you recognize the importance ADPAC plays in the future of our profession. This is the best investment we could possibly make in ourselves and our future!
How Much Does It Cost To Join?
A student membership in ADPAC costs $5 (compared to $49 for regular dentist membership). Students can join ADPAC’s Capital Club for $50.
