CDS 828 - THE PROFESSION OF DENTISTRY II

College of Dentistry

Credits: 1

This course focuses on ethical practice in clinical dentistry. In the life of a health-care clinician circumstances arise daily which are ethical in nature. The dentist, and the patient, must respond to these circumstances in ways that result in the best for all parties concerned. This course will explore the duties assumed by dentists in becoming a provider of oral health care for patients. In doing so, the major question to be addressed is, ‘How do dentists interact with their patients for the good of both?’
