Dentist Well-Being Handbook
Type:
Report
The American Dental Association released a handbook to outline well-being programs for dental students and professionals. Dentistry as a professional field comes with its own challenges with regard to well-being. Isolation, access to controlled substances, likelihood of holding authority in a solo practice setting, and values of antithetical care are all calls to action for well-being to be an emphasis. As an overview, the handbook covers structural models of programs, assistance programs, criteria for inclusion, legality, support/resources, and mental health.
