In the coming months, revamped ethics courses will debut on the “dentalethics.org” portion of the ACD National’s website. Be on the lookout! In addition, in the new year there will also be opportunities available for ACD Fellows to participate in the next sessions of the SHIFT Leadership trainings. The deadline for Nominations is February 1st, 2026. Please look to your peers to nominate your Outstanding Colleagues to Fellowship of the ACD. A reminder that the Nomination process has been
