Do you know: how long you are obligated to store patient records? what information needs to be included in a medical history? how to legally terminate a professional relationship with a patient? Answers to these and many other sometimes thorny legal questions are provided in the NYSDA Risk Management course.
This new course features a PowerPoint slide presentation given by a dentist and attorney whose experience extends to the fields of malpractice insurance and risk management in the dental office
