Does the AGD Fellowship require any specific ethics training?

The AGD Fellowship requires specific training in dental ethics to ensure that fellows demonstrate a strong understanding of ethical principles and practices in dentistry. This training is essential as it helps dental professionals navigate the complexities of patient care and maintain high standards of professionalism. By requiring ethics training, the AGD emphasizes the importance of ethical issues in clinical decision-making, patient interactions, and the broader implications of dental practice.

In addition, incorporating a dedicated ethics training component helps to prepare fellows for the challenges they may face in their careers and fosters a commitment to lifelong learning in ethical practices. Ensuring that dental professionals have a solid grounding in ethics ultimately supports patient trust and upholds the integrity of the profession.
