The first Evening Session, Oct. 15, will revolve around the ADA’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the second night, Oct. 16, features a discussion of how oral care is an essential part of an evolving health care landscape; and the third night, Oct. 17, highlights the Association’s advocacy in regards to third-party payer programs.
“If anything, this pandemic has strengthened my belief in the care we provide the public, and the Evening Sessions at the ADA FDC Virtual Connect Conference will reinforce that,” said Dr. Jessica Stilley-Mallah, member of the ADA Council on Dental Benefit Programs and a panelist at the Oct. 16 session. “I have a renewed sense of purpose even though the way I practice has changed. This year I hope we can continue to reach out to one another for support.”
