Dental code of ethics and interview prep????

[Guest babytooth]

I was wondering if any dental students recommend looking over "Dental Ethics" before an interview??? I've heard from a couple of U of A students that in their interviews they were asked questions relating to dental ethics.

:| ? Really?? How come I didn't have it in my interview???

 

But, some of the situational questions can be related to the real dental clinic/school in some ways. A few examples:

 

1) The clients feel they have been overcharged.

2) The clients are dissatisfied or angry with you for the services you provide.

3) The professor doesn't like the denture/crown/filling/etc you make, although it looks marvelous to you.

 

These can be translated into:

1) That department store question. (You know which question I'm talking about, right?)

2) Tell me a time someone was not satisfied with you.

3) You got bad marks for essays/reports.

Oh, dear, after re-reading what I wrote, it sounds like nobody is happy with anybody in the dental world... :b

Thanks for the input! I guess it may sound silly if I recite the code of ethics in my interview.

I'm not sure about the department store question though?

Never heard of that question? 0] I got it from this forum...

 

Anyway, browse through the UofA Dental Class 2007 Survival Guide. Somewhere around there.
