| SYNOPSIS |
|
All stakeholders, including the public, patients, staff, and colleagues, want a profession that is trustworthy and operates according to the highest ethical standards. Ethical reflection is a required part of every decision made in the dental office - some are straight forward while others are more complex.
Case studies will be used during this program to examine ethical situations or dilemmas that may arise in dental settings including appropriate treatment, best practice, patient care, managed care and reimbursement, and professional integrity.
The program is designed for all members the oral health team who deal with ethical challenges when providing care. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to interpret the ethical dimensions of a problem, prioritize competing interests, and communicate effectively to achieve an optimal action plan.
