Association on-demand webinar
The information contained in this program was current as of Jan. 27,
2021Course Overview
What role can dentists play in
providing vaccinations for their patients? This webinar addresses why dentists
should be considered primary care providers, and how their background makes them
well-trained for providing vaccines. Participants will learn about the
collaborative process for developing and passing legislation, the additional
training recommended for dentists to include vaccinations as part of their scope
of practice, and its implementation in the state of Oregon.
Get an overview of the vaccines most likely to be
initiated first in dental practice, learn about potential barriers as well as
vaccinations amid the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and about current and
future opportunities for dentists in the overall healthcare
system.
After this course, the learner should be able to:
• Summarize the role of dentists in the
healthcare system & evaluate the potential for vaccination by dentists in
their own state
• Develop a plan for legislation/advocacy for vaccination by
dentists in their own state
• Create a plan for incorporating vaccination in
their own practice
