The Case of Dr. Jessica Sanders
Keywords:
Case Study, General dentist, patient management, sexual harassment, employer-employee interactions, training in dental schoolAbstract
Dr. Jessica Sanders is a recent dental graduate working as an associate general dentist. She responds to a potential medical emergency in the office’s waiting room. The owner of the dental practice expresses his desire to have Dr. Sanders treat the patient anyway. This event involves itself with issues of patient management, sexual harassment, contract development, and employer-employee interactions. Dr. Sanders considers that she did not have sufficient training—or opportunities to ask questions on nuanced topics—in these areas during dental school.
