The New York State Office of the Professions has mandated
that, during the registration period beginning January 1, 2008, dentists who
are required to complete continuing education must, on a one-time basis,
complete a three-hour course in New York State jurisprudence and ethics.
This course focuses primarily on case presentations of ethical dilemmas
involving common grounds for ethical complaints and disciplinary actions.
Knowledge of the rules and regulations governing the practice of dentistry is
imputed to all licensed practitioners and ignorance of the law or ethics is
never a defense.
Course
Objectives:
- Identify and analyze
the ethical dilemmas which commonly occur in the operation of a dental
practice.
- Determine alternative
conduct applying the ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional
Conduct and NYSDA Code of Ethics.
- Know and comply with
applicable laws, rules and regulations.
- Maintain an
interactive values-based discussion with other professionals and the
community.
