The Importance of Medical/Dental Histories in Understanding a Patient's Overall Health is organized by Spear Education. This Online CME Conference is held from May 04, 2018 - May 04, 2021.

Course Description:
Whether your patients recognise it or not, their oral health is firmly united to their overall well-being - now how do you, as a dentist, treat them accordingly? In this lesson, Dr. Kim Miller emphasises the significance of ascertaining and describing the "why" behind assembling a patient's medical history. The session illustrates the outcomes and uncertainties incorporated with non-oral health issues as well as the RASA (receive, appreciate, summarize, ask) method of having these conversations.
