The AMA held its annual House of Delegates meeting June 7-12, during which the organization added several new policies related to mental health treatment, patient protection, medical education and more.
Among the new policies was the AMA’s commitment to working with state and national organizations to expand coverage for hearing, vision and dental benefits. Updated policy supports working with the American Dental Association and other organizations to improve access to dental care for patients.
Pratistha Koirala, MD, PhD, a member of the AMA’s Board of Trustees, acknowledged that failure to address vision, hearing and dental issues leads to more severe health problems and other obstacles, according to a June 11 news release.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
