TDP 1360 - The Dental Profession III

The course will provide the student with knowledge about professional obligations established by professional ethics and dental law. Students will study how ethics apply to the dental profession’s practice and systematically approach ethical dilemmas to reach decisions based on solid ethical grounds. The legal system will be studied related to administrative law (the dental acts and other laws and regulations), medical malpractice, and informed consent. In addition, the course will guide the student to a strong knowledge of regulations and obligations to start exploring practice management principles. As the students project themselves as practicing professionals, they will go over decisions, needs, obligations, and strategies to develop and manage a successful dental practice.
