As a student of dentistry and as a dentist, I will conduct myself with competence and integrity, with candor and compassion, and with personal commitment to the best interests of my patients. I shall care for my patients, as I would be cared for. The health and well-being of my patients will be my first consideration. I shall obtain consultation when it is appropriate. I shall include my patients in all important decisions about their care. I shall accept all patients in a non-judgmental manner, and use my skills to serve those in need. I shall respect the full human dignity of each individual regardless of their race, economic status or religion. I will provide absolute discretion and confidentiality for those who entrust me with their care. The high regard of my profession is born of society’s trust in its practitioners. I will strive to merit that trust. I shall at all times and in all places conduct myself with honor and integrity. I will strive to advance my profession by seeking new knowledge and by re-examining the ideas and practices of the past. I will attend to my own physical, mental, spiritual, intellectual and professional development in the best interest of serving others. I pledge myself to the service of humanity, my patients, my community and my profession. I promise to uphold UNLV School of Dental Medicine’s Student Code of Honor and Professional Responsibility. I promise to observe the code of ethics for the profession of dentistry from this day forward.
