ASDA Pre-dental Political Advocacy (APPA)
The ASDA Pre-dental Political Advocacy Club (APPA) at UCLA is a student organization committed to engaging pre-dental students in legislative advocacy and dental healthcare policy reform. Through hands-on involvement in the legislative process, members advocate for critical issues such as student loan reform and increased access to dental care for low-income populations. Our organization aims to work closely with District 11 ASDA and UCLA ASDA Pre-dental to coordinate advocacy initiatives, including organized visits to Capitol Hill where students directly engage with lawmakers and their staff. Members participate in various ASDA conferences, including District 11 ASDA conferences, Western Regional ASDA conference, and Pre-dental D11 conference, to network with dental professionals and fellow advocates. Through bill analysis, policy discussions, and advocacy planning, APPA provides members with valuable experience in healthcare legislation while contributing to meaningful change in dental education and healthcare accessibility.
