About the American College of Dentists

ON THIS PAGE: 

The American College of Dentists Foundation was founded in 1972 to ensure the ACD remains recognized as the “conscience of dentistry” well into the future. With support from the Foundation and the generous donations of our Fellows and Friends, the College can develop and implement essential initiatives and programs that further its mission to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in oral healthcare.

How Your Contributions to the Foundation Help Shape Our Future and Enable Us to Achieve:

  • Creation and dissemination of the new ACD Ethics Handbook for Dentistry

  • Developing and updating online courses, videos, and ethics resources

  • Conducting education programming at the ACD Annual Meeting
  • Collaborating with and providing support for the Student Professionalism and Ethics Association (SPEA)
  • Sponsoring leadership training for ACD Fellows in person and online
  • Convening the Spring Leadership Conference and the Ethics Summit
