ENHANCING YOUR DENTAL RESUME AND CAREER

PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS
Peer Review
NJDA offers a voluntary peer review program to objectively and expeditiously resolve patient complaints concerning the appropriateness or quality of treatment. Member dentists may also submit disputes with third-party consultants for review. All peer review matters are strictly confidential.
Political and Regulatory Advocacy
NJDA, through its governmental affairs office and the New Jersey Dental Political Action Committee (NJDPAC), is one of the most respected and effective voices in New Jersey. NJDA works hard to ensure that dentistry is at the table when lawmakers address issues that affect the profession, reviewing more than 8,000 pieces of legislation each session.
