The American Dental Association Code of ethics and professional conduct
The ADA Code is, in effect, a written expression of the obligations arising from the implied contract between the dental profession and society.
Members of the ADA voluntarily agree to abide by the ADA Code as a condition of membership in the Association. They recognize that continued public trust in the dental profession is based on the commitment of individual dentists to high ethical standards of conduct.
The ADA Code has three main components: The Principles of Ethics, the Code of Professional Conduct and the Advisory Opinions.

Most experts, including the conference sponsors and the IPEC panel, believe that in order to deliver high-quality, safe and efficient care, and meet the public’s increasingly complex health care needs, the educational experience must shift from one in which health profession students are educated in silos to one that fosters collaboration, communication and a team approach to providing care.
Second year scepticism: pre-qualifying health and social care students' midpoint self-assessment, attitudes and perceptions concerning interprofessional learning and working
A study in an English Faculty of Health and Social Care explores the effects of a pre-qualifying interprofessional curriculum incorporating interprofessional modules in each year of study. The study design involves collecting data on entry to the Faculty, after completion of the second interprofessional module, on qualification and after 9 months qualified practice. At each point, students complete questionnaires concerning communication and teamwork skills and interprofessional learning and working. This paper presents results from 723 students at the second data collection point.
Providing a Specialty Service: Dermatology at the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic
Since introducing dermatology at the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic (PNC), we have successfully treated and made an impact on over 40 patients with varying dermatological conditions and created an effective follow-up protocol for patients seen. As a student-run free clinic, the PNC encounters patients with diverse medical problems that we often cannot address at the clinic. Problems that we often see are patients dealing with mild to severe skin conditions that could be easily addressed by a dermatologist.

The PVME comprises the following Principles, the Supporting Annotations, and Useful Terms.
