One of the AADA’s top priorities is to advocate for a physician-led, team-based approach to care that ensures both the safety and best outcomes for each patient. Our advocacy efforts at the federal and state levels ensure each member of the care team is practicing at a level consistent with their training and education.
If you have scope of practice or truth in advertising concerns that you would like the Academy to help address, please complete a brief form. AADA staff will research the state laws and provide you with resources and recommendations on how you can take action locally.
