Teaching ethics, jurisprudence, and risk management at the New Jersey Dental School

In an attempt to better prepare students for dental practice in a litigious environment with cost-containment pressures, quality assurance requirements, and increased patient expectations, the New Jersey Dental School has begun planning and implementing various programs to teach students and faculty ethics, jurisprudence, and risk management. In addition to formal course work, the New Jersey Dental School is implementing a quality assurance and risk management clinical program.
