ASDA's White Paper on Ethics
In 2009, ASDA published its “White Paper on Ethics and Professionalism in Dental Education,” which provides an overview of the ethics issue and lists best practices for communities of interest within dental education.

The paper was distributed to various dental organizations, including the ADA, state and specialty dental societies, and our constituent student dental organizations. In addition, copies were mailed to the deans of all dental schools.

We encourage you to read this paper and use as a resource to improve the ethical climate at your school.
