Room 103

$95 additional registration fee required.

Do you know: how long you are obligated to store patient records? what information needs to be included in a medical history? how to legally terminate a professional relationship with a patient? Answers to these and many other sometimes thorny legal questions are provided in the NYSDA RISK MANAGEMENT course.

This new course features a PowerPoint slide presentation given by a dentist and attorney whose experience extends to the fields of malpractice insurance and risk management in the dental office.

A certificate will be issued to all participants who successfully complete the seminar. Dentists who complete this course will be entitled to a 10% discount on their liability premiums for a three year period from the Medical Liability Mutual Insurance Company (MLMIC). Other companies also accept this course for a discount. Please check with your carrier. Four CE credits will be given for completion of this course. Credits for NYSDA members will be automatically recorded with the NYSDA CE Registry.

If you have not completed an approved Risk Management program within the past three years, it is necessary for you to take this course in order to continue to receive your discount.
