title: A student-initiated movement toward a more positive ethics.
abstract: Today's dental students can be counted on to solve problems, including ethical ones. This article documents the beginning of a student-initiated ethics club at the University of Southern California's dental school-SPEC, the Student Professionalism and Ethics Club. The organization and activities of SPEC are discussed, as is the interest this group has generated in helping form similar clubs at other dental schools.
