Lawrence P. Garetto, PhD, FACD; Rod Wentworth, DDS, FACD
Being a health care professional comes with ethical obligations to our patients, our community, and to our profession. Among those is the duty to care. What is our duty to care and how does it relate to the pandemic? How has dentistry lived up to our obligations during the pandemic? What about vaccinations?
In this course, you will learn about what it means to be a professional and about the duty to care both legally and ethically. The goal is to provoke an expanded thinking about the meaning and obligation of duty to care and our professional obligations in the outpatient health care setting of dentistry during the pandemic.
