Power hierarchies between colleagues, bias between patients and students, and even issues of violence, bullying, discrimination or harassment between students, faculty, staff and patients can occur in dental schools. How do you prevent and respond to these issues? Who should be involved? What and how do you communicate information to your dental school community? During this session, participants will recommend strategies for responding to and preventing these issues from happening, while also learning about the University at Buffalo, School of Dental Medicine’s model for preventing and responding to inappropriate behavior. Particular attention will be placed on clinical learning environments.

Learning Objectives:

Explain how to identify and report inappropriate behavior in the workplace and why it is essential for educational and clinical outcomes.
Discuss best practices for managing reports of inappropriate behavior.
Apply a model to prevent and respond to inappropriate behavior in a clinical learning environment.
