LOBBY DAY
ADA Lobby Day is a key event that empowers dental students, professionals, and advocates to make their voices heard on critical issues affecting the dental profession. Hosted by the American Dental Association (ADA), this event provides a unique opportunity for members of the dental community to meet with lawmakers and policymakers, share their insights, and advocate for legislation that supports the future of dentistry.
For dental students, ADA Lobby Day is an incredible way to get involved in advocacy and legislative action on a national scale. During this event, participants are trained on the most pressing issues facing the dental field, from student loan reform to Medicaid access and workforce issues. Armed with this knowledge, students have the opportunity to meet directly with legislators, ask questions, and lobby for policies that will benefit the profession and the public.
One of the primary focuses of ADA Lobby Day is ensuring that dental students and professionals have a say in the shaping of healthcare policy. Whether it’s advocating for policies to ease the burden of student debt or supporting legislation that improves access to dental care, ADA Lobby Day allows dental students to take an active role in influencing decisions that will impact their careers and the patients they serve.
By participating in ADA Lobby Day, dental students gain hands-on experience in policy advocacy, deepen their understanding of the legislative process, and contribute to efforts that will shape the future of dental care across the nation. It’s an essential event for anyone passionate about creating lasting change in the dental profession.
