Decision making in resolving ethical dilemmas is the act of choosing between a number of alternatives that can either be of a pure perceptive process, a pure reasoned process, or (preferably) by combination of both processes. The ultimate objective of this workshop is to address obstacles that hinder the process of resolving ethical issues that face dental practice and provide a framework for decision-making that healthcare providers can use. This workshop would be of interest to practitioners in the health care professions who seek to update their skills as decision makers with respect to the ethical perspectives of the encountered problem. The workshop will be composed of a lecture, discussion board based on a group of presented cases studies. As a community of inquiry, we will be learning from one another. This will be an interactive, conversational class for two hours that requires active participation of workshop members. At the end of this workshop participants will be able to understand the process of problem solving from identifying and structuring the problem, looking for possible solutions via brain-storming, implementation of the decision and lastly monitoring and reviewing the outcomes of problem solving over a period of time. The workshop will also cover aspects related to standardizing ethics education in dentistry some tips that would help dentists construct ethics coursework that is relevant to the day-to-day practice of dentistry.
