Commission on Dental Accreditation Actions
Conflict of Interest Policy
Evaluation policies and procedures used in the accreditation process provide a system of checks and
balances regarding the fairness and impartiality in all aspects of the accreditation process. Central to the
fairness of the procedural aspects of the Commission’s operations and the impartiality of its decision
making process is an organizational and personal duty to avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest. The
potential for a conflict of interest arises when one’s duty to make decisions in the public’s interest is
compromised by competing interests of a personal or private nature, including but not limited to pecuniary
interests.
Conflict of interest is considered to be: 1) any relationship with an institution or program, or 2) a partiality
or bias, either of which might interfere with objectivity in the accreditation review process. Procedures for
selection of representatives of the Commission who participate in the evaluation process reinforce
impartiality. These representatives include: Commissioners, Review Committee members, site visitors,
and Commission staff.
In addition, procedures for institutional due process, as well as strict guidelines for all written documents
and accreditation decisions, further reinforce adherence to fair accreditation practices. Every effort is
made to avoid conflict of interest, either from the point of view of an institution/program being reviewed or
from the point of view of any person representing the Commission.
On occasion, current and former volunteers involved in the Commission’s accreditation process (site
visitors, review committee members, commissioners) are requested to make presentations related to the
Commission and its accreditation process at various meetings. In these cases, the volunteer must make
it clear that the services are neither supported nor endorsed by the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
Further, it must be made clear that the information provided is based only on experiences of the individual
and not being provided on behalf of the Commission.
Revised: 8/15; 8/14; Reaffirmed: 8/12, 8/10
1. Visiting Committee Members: Conflicts of interest may be identified by either an institution/program,
Commissioner, site visitor or Commission staff. An institution/program has the right to reject the
assignment of any Commissioner, site visitor or Commission staff because of a possible or perceived
conflict of interest. The Commission expects all programs, Commissioners and/or site visitors to notify
the Commission office immediately if, for any reason, there may be a conflict of interest or the
appearance of such a conflict. Because of the nature of their positions, a state board representative will
be a resident of the state in which a program is located and may be a graduate of the institution/program
being visited. These components of the policy do not apply for state board representatives, although the
program retains the right to reject an individual’s assignment for other reasons.
All active site visitors who independently consult with educational programs accredited by CODA or
applying for accreditation must identify all consulting roles to the Commission and must file with the
Commission a letter of conflict acknowledgement signed by themselves and the institution/program with
whom they consulted. All conflict of interest policies as noted elsewhere in this document apply. Contact
the CODA office for the appropriate conflict of interest declaration form.
Conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, a site visitor who:
is a graduate of a program at the institution;
has served on the program’s visiting committee within the last ten (10) years;
has served as an independent consultant, employee or appointee of the institution;
has a family member who is employed or affiliated with the institution;
has a close professional or personal relationship with the institution/program or key personnel in the
institution/program which would, from the standpoint of a reasonable person, create the appearance
Page 2
Introduction
CODA Summer 2017
of a conflict;
manifests a partiality that prevents objective consideration of a program for accreditation;
is a former employee of the institution or program;
previously applied for a position at the institution within the last five (5) years;
is affiliated with an institution/program in the same state; and/or
is a resident of the state.
If an institutional administrator, faculty member or site visitor has doubt as to whether or not a conflict of
interest could exist, Commission staff should be consulted prior to the site visit. The Chair, Vice-Chair
and a public member of the Commission, in consultation with Commission staff and legal counsel, may
make a final determination about such conflicts.
Revised: 2/16; 8/14; 1/14; 2/13; 8/10; Reaffirmed: 8/12
2. Commissioners, Review Committee Members And Members Of The Appeal Board: The
Commission firmly believes that conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest must be
avoided in all situations in which accreditation recommendations or decisions are being made by
Commissioners, Review Committee members, or members of the Appeal Board. No Commissioner,
Review Committee member, or member of the Appeal Board should participate in any way in accrediting
decisions in which he or she has a financial or personal interest or, because of an institutional or program
association, has divided loyalties and/or has a conflict of interest on the outcome of the decision.
During the term of service as a Review Committee member, these individuals should not serve as site
visitors for an actual accreditation site visit to an accredited or developing program, unless deemed
necessary. Two instances when a review committee member could serve on a site visit include: 1) an
inability to find a site visitor from the comprehensive site visitor list, or 2) when the review committee
believes a member should attend a visit for consistency in the review process. This applies only to site
visits that would be considered by the same review committee on which the site visitor is serving. Review
committee members may not independently consult with a CODA-accredited program or a program
applying for CODA accreditation. In addition, review committee members may not serve as a site visitor
for mock accreditation purposes. These policies help avoid conflict of interest in the decision making
process and minimize the need for recusals.
During the term of service as a commissioner or appeal board member, these individuals may not
independently consult with a CODA-accredited program or a program applying for CODA accreditation.
In addition, Commissioners or appeal board may not serve on a site visit team during their terms.
Areas of conflict of interest for Commissioners, Review Committee members and/or members of the
Appeal Board include, but are not limited to:
close professional or personal relationships or affiliation with the institution/program or key personnel
in the institution/program which may create the appearance of a conflict;
serving as an independent consultant or mock site visitor to the institution/program;
being a graduate of the institution/program;
being a current employee or appointee of the institution/program;
previously applied for a position at the institution within the last five (5) years;
being a current student at the institution/program;
having a family member who is employed by or affiliated with the institution;
manifesting a professional or personal interest at odds with the institution or program;
key personnel of the institution/program having graduated from the program of the Commissioner,
Review Committee member, or member of the Appeal Board;
having served on the program’s visiting committee within the last ten (10) years; and/or
no longer a current employee of the institution or program but having been employed there within the
past ten (10) years.

Introduction
CODA Summer 2017
To safeguard the objectivity of the Review Committees, conflict of interest determinations shall be made
by the Chair of the Review Committee. If the Chair, in consultation with a public member, staff and legal
counsel, determines that a Review Committee member has a conflict of interest in connection with a
particular program, the Review Committee member will be instructed to not access the report either in
advance of or at the time of the meeting. Further, the individual must leave the room when they have any
of the above conflicts. In cases in which the existence of a conflict of interest is less obvious, it is the
responsibility of any committee member who feels that a potential conflict of interest exists to absent
himself/herself from the room during the discussion of the particular accreditation report.
To safeguard the objectivity of the Commission, conflict of interest determinations shall be made by the
Chair of the Commission. If the Chair, in consultation with a public member, staff and legal counsel,
determines that a Commissioner has a conflict of interest in connection with a particular program, the
Commissioner will be instructed to not access the report either in advance of or at the time of the
meeting. Further, the individual must leave the room when they have any of the above conflicts. In cases
in which the existence of a conflict of interest is less obvious, it is the responsibility of any Commissioner
who feels that a potential conflict of interest exists to absent himself/herself from the room during the
discussion of the particular accreditation report.
To safeguard the objectivity of the Appeal Board, any member who has a conflict of interest in connection
with a program filing an appeal must inform the Director of the Commission. The Appeal Board member
will be instructed to not access the report for that program either in advance of or at the time of the
meeting, and the individual must leave the room when the program is being discussed. If necessary, the
respective representative organization will be contacted to identify a temporary replacement Appeal
Board member.
Conflicts of interest for Commissioners, Review Committee members and members of the Appeal Board
may also include being from the same state, but not the same program. The Commission is aware that
being from the same state may not itself be a conflict; however, when residence within the same state is
in addition to any of the items listed above, a conflict would exist.
This provision refers to the concept of conflict of interest in the context of accreditation decisions. The
prohibitions and limitations are not intended to exclude participation and decision-making in other areas,
such as policy development and standard setting.
Commissioners are expected to evaluate each accreditation action, policy decision or standard adoption
for the overall good of the public. The American Dental Association (ADA) Constitution and Bylaws limits
the involvement of the members of the ADA, the American Dental Education Association and the
American Association of Dental Boards in areas beyond the organization that appointed them. Although
Commissioners are appointed by designated communities of interest, their duty of loyalty is first and
foremost to the Commission. A conflict of interest exists when a Commissioner holds appointment as an
officer in another organization within the Commission’s communities of interest. Therefore, a conflict of
interest exists when a Commissioner or a Commissioner-designee provides simultaneous service to the
Commission and an organization within the communities of interest. (Refer to Policy on Simultaneous
Service)
Revised: 8/16; 2/16; 2/15; 8/14; 1/14, 8/10; Reaffirmed: 8/12
3. Commission Staff Members: Although Commission on Dental Accreditation staff does not
participate directly in decisions by volunteers regarding accreditation, they are in a position to influence
the outcomes of the process. On the other hand, staff provides equity and consistency among site visits
and guidance interpreting the Commission’s policies and procedures.
For these reasons, Commission staff adheres to the guidelines for site visitors, within the time limitations
listed and with the exception of the state residency, including:
graduation from a program at the institution within the last five years;
service as a site visitor, employee or appointee of the institution within the last five years; and/or

Conflicts of Interest
CODA Summer 2017
Conflict of Interest Policy
Evaluation policies and procedures used in the accreditation process provide a system of checks and
balances regarding the fairness and impartiality in all aspects of the accreditation process. Central to the
fairness of the procedural aspects of the Commission’s operations and the impartiality of its decision
making process is an organizational and personal duty to avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest. The
potential for a conflict of interest arises when one’s duty to make decisions in the public’s interest is
compromised by competing interests of a personal or private nature, including but not limited to pecuniary
interests.
Conflict of interest is considered to be: 1) any relationship with an institution or program, or 2) a partiality
or bias, either of which might interfere with objectivity in the accreditation review process. Procedures for
selection of representatives of the Commission who participate in the evaluation process reinforce
impartiality. These representatives include: Commissioners, Review Committee members, site visitors,
and Commission staff.
In addition, procedures for institutional due process, as well as strict guidelines for all written documents
and accreditation decisions, further reinforce adherence to fair accreditation practices. Every effort is
made to avoid conflict of interest, either from the point of view of an institution/program being reviewed or
from the point of view of any person representing the Commission.
On occasion, current and former volunteers involved in the Commission’s accreditation process (site
visitors, review committee members, commissioners) are requested to make presentations related to the
Commission and its accreditation process at various meetings. In these cases, the volunteer must make
it clear that the services are neither supported nor endorsed by the Commission on Dental Accreditation.
Further, it must be made clear that the information provided is based only on experiences of the individual
and not being provided on behalf of the Commission.
Revised: 8/15; 8/14; Reaffirmed: 8/12, 8/10
1. Visiting Committee Members: Conflicts of interest may be identified by either an institution/program,
Commissioner, site visitor or Commission staff. An institution/program has the right to reject the
assignment of any Commissioner, site visitor or Commission staff because of a possible or perceived
conflict of interest. The Commission expects all programs, Commissioners and/or site visitors to notify
the Commission office immediately if, for any reason, there may be a conflict of interest or the
appearance of such a conflict. Because of the nature of their positions, a state board representative will
be a resident of the state in which a program is located and may be a graduate of the institution/program
being visited. These components of the policy do not apply for state board representatives, although the
program retains the right to reject an individual’s assignment for other reasons.
All active site visitors who independently consult with educational programs accredited by CODA or
applying for accreditation must identify all consulting roles to the Commission and must file with the
Commission a letter of conflict acknowledgement signed by themselves and the institution/program with
whom they consulted. All conflict of interest policies as noted elsewhere in this document apply. Contact
the CODA office for the appropriate conflict of interest declaration form.
Conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, a site visitor who:
is a graduate of a program at the institution;
has served on the program’s visiting committee within the last ten (10) years;
has served as an independent consultant, employee or appointee of the institution;
has a family member who is employed or affiliated with the institution;
has a close professional or personal relationship with the institution/program or key personnel in the
institution/program which would, from the standpoint of a reasonable person, create the appearance
of a conflict;
manifests a partiality that prevents objective consideration of a program for accreditation;
is a former employee of the institution or program;
Page 57
Conflicts of Interest
CODA Summer 2017
previously applied for a position at the institution within the last five (5) years;
is affiliated with an institution/program in the same state; and/or
is a resident of the state.
If an institutional administrator, faculty member or site visitor has doubt as to whether or not a conflict of
interest could exist, Commission staff should be consulted prior to the site visit. The Chair, Vice-Chair
and a public member of the Commission, in consultation with Commission staff and legal counsel, may
make a final determination about such conflicts.
Revised: 2/16; 8/14; 1/14; 2/13; 8/10; Reaffirmed: 8/12
2. Commissioners, Review Committee Members And Members Of The Appeal Board: The
Commission firmly believes that conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest must be
avoided in all situations in which accreditation recommendations or decisions are being made by
Commissioners, Review Committee members, or members of the Appeal Board. No Commissioner,
Review Committee member, or member of the Appeal Board should participate in any way in accrediting
decisions in which he or she has a financial or personal interest or, because of an institutional or program
association, has divided loyalties and/or has a conflict of interest on the outcome of the decision.
During the term of service as a Review Committee member, these individuals should not serve as site
visitors for an actual accreditation site visit to an accredited or developing program, unless deemed
necessary. Two instances when a review committee member could serve on a site visit include: 1) an
inability to find a site visitor from the comprehensive site visitor list, or 2) when the review committee
believes a member should attend a visit for consistency in the review process. This applies only to site
visits that would be considered by the same review committee on which the site visitor is serving. Review
committee members may not independently consult with a CODA-accredited program or a program
applying for CODA accreditation. In addition, review committee members may not serve as a site visitor
for mock accreditation purposes. These policies help avoid conflict of interest in the decision making
process and minimize the need for recusals.
During the term of service as a commissioner or appeal board member, these individuals may not
independently consult with a CODA-accredited program or a program applying for CODA accreditation.
In addition, Commissioners or appeal board may not serve on a site visit team during their terms.
Areas of conflict of interest for Commissioners, Review Committee members and/or members of the
Appeal Board include, but are not limited to:
close professional or personal relationships or affiliation with the institution/program or key personnel
in the institution/program which may create the appearance of a conflict;
serving as an independent consultant or mock site visitor to the institution/program;
being a graduate of the institution/program;
being a current employee or appointee of the institution/program;
previously applied for a position at the institution within the last five (5) years;
being a current student at the institution/program;
having a family member who is employed by or affiliated with the institution;
manifesting a professional or personal interest at odds with the institution or program;
key personnel of the institution/program having graduated from the program of the Commissioner,
Review Committee member, or member of the Appeal Board;
having served on the program’s visiting committee within the last ten (10) years; and/or
no longer a current employee of the institution or program but having been employed there within the
past ten (10) years.
To safeguard the objectivity of the Review Committees, conflict of interest determinations shall be made
by the Chair of the Review Committee. If the Chair, in consultation with a public member, staff and legal
counsel, determines that a Review Committee member has a conflict of interest in connection with a
particular program, the Review Committee member will be instructed to not access the report either in
Page 58
Conflicts of Interest
CODA Summer 2017
advance of or at the time of the meeting. Further, the individual must leave the room when they have any
of the above conflicts. In cases in which the existence of a conflict of interest is less obvious, it is the
responsibility of any committee member who feels that a potential conflict of interest exists to absent
himself/herself from the room during the discussion of the particular accreditation report.
To safeguard the objectivity of the Commission, conflict of interest determinations shall be made by the
Chair of the Commission. If the Chair, in consultation with a public member, staff and legal counsel,
determines that a Commissioner has a conflict of interest in connection with a particular program, the
Commissioner will be instructed to not access the report either in advance of or at the time of the
meeting. Further, the individual must leave the room when they have any of the above conflicts. In cases
in which the existence of a conflict of interest is less obvious, it is the responsibility of any Commissioner
who feels that a potential conflict of interest exists to absent himself/herself from the room during the
discussion of the particular accreditation report.
To safeguard the objectivity of the Appeal Board, any member who has a conflict of interest in connection
with a program filing an appeal must inform the Director of the Commission. The Appeal Board member
will be instructed to not access the report for that program either in advance of or at the time of the
meeting, and the individual must leave the room when the program is being discussed. If necessary, the
respective representative organization will be contacted to identify a temporary replacement Appeal
Board member.
Conflicts of interest for Commissioners, Review Committee members and members of the Appeal Board
may also include being from the same state, but not the same program. The Commission is aware that
being from the same state may not itself be a conflict; however, when residence within the same state is
in addition to any of the items listed above, a conflict would exist.
This provision refers to the concept of conflict of interest in the context of accreditation decisions. The
prohibitions and limitations are not intended to exclude participation and decision-making in other areas,
such as policy development and standard setting.
Commissioners are expected to evaluate each accreditation action, policy decision or standard adoption
for the overall good of the public. The American Dental Association (ADA) Constitution and Bylaws limits
the involvement of the members of the ADA, the American Dental Education Association and the
American Association of Dental Boards in areas beyond the organization that appointed them. Although
Commissioners are appointed by designated communities of interest, their duty of loyalty is first and
foremost to the Commission. A conflict of interest exists when a Commissioner holds appointment as an
officer in another organization within the Commission’s communities of interest. Therefore, a conflict of
interest exists when a Commissioner or a Commissioner-designee provides simultaneous service to the
Commission and an organization within the communities of interest. (Refer to Policy on Simultaneous
Service)

3. Commission Staff Members: Although Commission on Dental Accreditation staff does not
participate directly in decisions by volunteers regarding accreditation, they are in a position to influence
the outcomes of the process. On the other hand, staff provides equity and consistency among site visits
and guidance interpreting the Commission’s policies and procedures.
For these reasons, Commission staff adheres to the guidelines for site visitors, within the time limitations
listed and with the exception of the state residency, including:
graduation from a program at the institution within the last five years;
service as a site visitor, employee or appointee of the institution within the last five years; and/or
close personal or familial relationships with key personnel in the institution/program.

Failure to Submit Annual Fee
CODA Summer 2017
REPORT ON EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FAILING
TO SUBMIT ANNUAL FEE PAYMENT
The accredited programs listed below have failed to submit payment to the Commission on Dental
Accreditation for the 2017 annual fee. The Commission on Dental Accreditation's policy requires
payment of the annual fee as a condition for continued participation in the accreditation program. In this
regard, the Commission policy states (in part)
All institutions offering programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation are
expected to adhere to the due date for payment of all fees for each accredited program
sponsored by the institution. Written requests for an extension must specify a payment date no
later than thirty (30) days beyond the initial due date. Failure to pay fees by the designated
deadline is viewed as an institutional decision to no longer participate in the Commission’s
accreditation program. Following appropriate reminder notice(s), if payment or a request for
extension is not received, it will be assumed that the institution no longer wishes to participate in
the accreditation program. In this event, the Commission will immediately notify the chief
executive officer of the institution of its intent to withdraw the accreditation of the program(s) at its
next scheduled meeting. Programs which have been discontinued or had accreditation withdrawn
will not be issued a refund of accreditation fees.
Each of the programs received notice indicating that if payment for the annual fee was not received by
August 3, 2017, the Commission would initiate steps to withdraw the program’s accreditation at the
Commission’s Summer 2017 meeting.
Resolved, that the Commission on Dental Accreditation inform the following programs of its intent to
withdraw accreditation, August 2017, for failing to submit payment for the annual fee and not
complying with Commission policy:
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, NJ
general practice residency from: approval without reporting requirements
to: approval with reporting requirements;
intent to withdraw (2/2018)
