The clinic practice teaching program is subject to the rules of the Medical College and the laws of the State of Georgia. It is incumbent upon the student to be thoroughly familiar with the contents of the Clinical Policies and Procedures Manual.
Patients are people.
Students and faculty are expected to treat them as people who are worthy of our concern, our most careful judgments and conscientious care. This includes thoughtfulness as to their time, comfort and their feelings. It can reasonably be expected that all conduct in the clinic shall reflect this concern. The School of Dentistry is committed to a teaching program placing primary emphasis on prevention of oral disease and a comprehensive approach to oral health care. It is desirable from both a learning standpoint and the welfare of the patient that an approach to oral health be utilized that recognizes the patient as the vital member of the health team.
