This is an opportunity for you to join content expert Lisa Rowley, RDH, MS and other fellow educators to discuss strategies for teaching Law and Ethics. Discussion will include the available textbooks for this course, activities to engage students with the content (not just case studies), and innovative ways to adapt this content to online teaching.

Objectives

• Identify resources that can be used to determine what dental hygiene students need to know about law & ethics.
  
• Describe how professionalism & “professional practice” may be used to make law & ethics more meaningful for dental hygiene students.
  
• Discuss teaching strategies, in-class activities and outside-class assignments that may be effective for teaching law & ethics.
