The ADA is committed to delivering professional development activities that can be used as part of our member's professional development plans.
Through our monthly branch meetings we provide opportunities for members to develop their learning, stimulate their thinking, enhance their skills and engage with like-minded peers to share ideas and techniques. We understand that we all have varied dental interests and learning styles. We endeavour to cater to all of our members in terms of their experience, level of knowledge and time commitments.
