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