Teaching law, ethics, and risk management at the School of Dental Medicine State University of New York at Stony Brook.

An upgraded course (program) in Law, Ethics, and Risk Management has been taught at the School of Dental Medicine, State University of New York at Stony Brook, since 1977 and was revised effective 1988. It brings together didactic instruction and an extensive clinical component beginning immediately before students enter the school's dental clinic and ending when clinical instruction is completed before graduation. The program is designed to (1) prepare students for the management of patients in the clinic; (2) ensure that student management of patients in the clinic does not place the supervising faculty and university administration at legal risk; (3) provide the student with knowledge about the law and legal system; (4) provide students with information about the regulation of dental practice; (5) identify areas of legal vulnerability in the practice of the profession, and risk management office principles designed to control or eliminate the risks; and (6) instruct the student about professional codes regulating ethical behavior and ethical standards of conduct.
