ADEA Guidelines for Ethical Academic and Industry Interactions

As federal, state, and local regulators attempt to tackle transparency within the health industry, the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) has released the first guidelines for academic dental institutions in their professional interactions with the dental industry.

Many academic dental institutions are engaged in various formsof interactions with the dental industry. The ADEA Guidelines for Academia-Industry Interactions provide a framework from which these relationships can be defined to meet the needs of these academic dental institutions in support of education, research, patient care, and community service. In addition to local, state and federal regulations that define interactions between academia and industry, many academic dental institutions must comply with institutional policies. Similarly, the industry must comply with internal industry compliance guidelines and external state and federal regulations.

ADEA is committed to developing and sustaining institutional environments that foster personal, academic, and industry integrity and professionalism within the allied, pre doctoral, and advanced dental education community.
