A Basic Introduction for Every Dentist

Every routine dental procedure carries medico-legal responsibilities that extend beyond clinical competence. From obtaining valid consent and maintaining appropriate records to prescribing, referring and responding to an adverse event, everyday decisions can affect both patient welfare and a dentist’s professional security.

This introductory certificate course provides dentists with a practical understanding of informed consent, documentation, communication and risk management within the Indian medico-legal framework. 

As a dentist with a degree in law and experience as a medico-legal consultant, Dr. Bhuvan Nagpal brings both clinical and legal perspectives to the subject. Using situations encountered in routine dental practice, he will explain the essential legal and ethical responsibilities that every dentist should understand—helping participants protect their patients and practise with greater confidence.

Designed to be relevant across career stages, the course is suitable for dental students, postgraduate students, recent graduates, practising dentists, specialists and academicians.

Course Completion and Certificate

Participants who complete the course requirements will receive a certificate documenting 2 hours of learning. The certificate may be added to a CV, professional portfolio or LinkedIn profile. This is a non-accredited course, and Oromed 360 Academy does not directly award or guarantee CPD/CDE points. Participants may submit the certificate and documented learning hours to their professional body for consideration, subject to its applicable rules.
