All lab sessions will start in the lecture room. The dental profession has long subscribed to a body of ethical standards developed primarily for the benefit of the public. Upholding these standards is your responsibility not only to the patient, but also to society, other health professionals, and to self. You are inheriting an extremely positive public trust and perception of the dental profession. Maintaining this trust is the duty of every dentistand dental student.
Professionalism defines the essentials of honorable behavior for a dentist.
Neither your classmates nor I will tolerate dishonesty-there is no worse violation of public trust. All violations will be handled in the appropriate manner as described inthe VCU Honor Code. This is a three-credit course. Your final grade will be based on your quizzes and on your performance on the three tests. Tests will consist of multiple choice and short answer questions.
