- Develop principles of ethical reasoning and professional responsibility as they pertain to the academic environment, patient care, practice management, and research on dentistry.
- Demonstrate self-assessment, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills related to the comprehensive dental care of patients.
- Promote oral and systemic health of patients within private practice and the community.
- Diagnose, treat and/or manage all discipline areas recognized by the general dentist.
