Patients deserve safe dental care. Improving safety requires more than guidelines and rules. In dental education, we mostly focus on how to perform procedures rather than teaching how to prevent doing them improperly, creating safety by educating students on how to avoid clinical errors is not the most important job of a clinical educator. This session explores safety, errors, systems in dentistry and a modern approach to patient safety (i.e., learning) through real-world case studies. Educators will acquire concepts to transform their school’s safety culture by constructing a patient safety bridge that benefits both the students managing patients and the individuals receiving care.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the importance of comprehending why errors and failures occur as well as the organization’s response to them.
  • Appreciate the benefit of students and educators learning from mishaps and successes.
  • Describe the shortfalls of a safety philosophy that focuses on compliance and errors and shape the patient safety culture at their institution.
