Learn to navigate the state dental regulations and federal policies that could impact your practice.
The national dental guidelines, federal policies, and state-by-state regulations are so diverse and constantly changing that you would need a lawyer to keep apprised of them all. Fortunately, DOCS Education employs a regulatory expert who understands the importance of protecting your practice, your patients, and yourself.
Presented by David Palmer, Esq., DOCS’ full-time Regulatory Counsel, this vital course can keep you out of legal jeopardy by teaching you how to avoid the most common regulation issues dentists face. You will learn the latest on the DEA MATE Act requirements, drug inventory and recordkeeping, typical HIPAA violations, and how to meet the Standard of Care with appropriate staffing and training.
