Course Description -

As with any profession that deals with human rights and liberties, dentists have a responsibility to their patients and communities in which they practice. Much like the Hippocratic Oath, the code of Dental Ethics created by the American Dental Association (ADA) serves as a standard to which all dental professionals are expected to adhere. It states that each member of the dental profession is responsible for “maintaining and enriching” the dental profession.

This online interactive course includes a comprehensive and meaningful review of the five fundamental Principles of Ethics for Dentistry that serve as the foundation of the ADA Code of Professional Ethics: patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and veracity.
