The ADA Council on Advocacy for Access and Prevention is dedicated to enhancing oral health literacy, advancing disease prevention and intervention, and promoting access to oral healthcare through robust community advocacy and strategic initiatives bridging both the dental and medical professions.
Recognizing the vital connection between oral and overall health, the ADA has invited the AMA to appoint a physician representative to the Council.
Ideal applicants will demonstrate a strong commitment to oral health and the integration of medicine and dentistry. Experience with state Medicaid programs is desirable, and AMA membership is required.
The appointed AMA representative will serve a two-year term beginning in June 2026, with a time commitment that includes two in-person meetings per year, as well as occasional virtual meetings.
