Cory Andrew Labrecque, PhD, is Professor of Bioethics and Theological Ethics, and the inaugural Chair of Educational Leadership in the Ethics of Life at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at Université Laval in Quebec City, where he is Vice-Dean and Director of Graduate Studies in Theology. Cory earned a BSc in Anatomy and Cell Biology, an MA in Bioethics and Religious Studies, and a PhD in Religious Ethics at McGill University.

He is a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life (which counsels the Vatican on ethical issues in medicine, biotechnology, and the environment), president-elect of the Canadian Bioethics Society, and vice-president of the National Committee for Ethics and Ageing (Quebec).

WHY BIOETHICS MATTERS IN DENTISTRY: FOUNDATIONS, PRINCIPLES, AND CASES

Presented by:

Ethics talk is everywhere. Not a day goes by without some reference in the news or on social media to ethics writ large or to ethical questions being asked across the disciplines: in science, academia, politics, industry, religion, environment, and healthcare.

In this presentation, I explore the foundations of dental bioethics and underscore the importance of critical ethical reflection in the formation of future healthcare professionals in dentistry as well as in everyday practice.

By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the foundations of dental bioethics as a discipline;
  2. Summarize bioethical principles relevant to the practice of dentistry; and
  3. Discuss the importance of ethical reflection in the formation of future healthcare professionals in dentistry as well as in everyday practice.
