The College of Dentistry is charged with educating the dental student in a manner which allows that student to matriculate into the profession of dentistry. However, academic and clinical situations can arise which brings into question the ethics, integrity, or abilities of the student.
The Professionalism Concerns Report is prepared when a student exhibits behavior not consistent with the OUHSC Student Professional Behavior in an Academic Program Policy. It is intended to assist the student in meeting professionalism expectations in academic, professional or administrative settings. Improvement in the area(s) below is needed in order to meet the standards of professionalism inherent in being a dentist or dental hygienist:
- Integrity & Honesty
- Patient-Centered Care & Patient Safety
- Respect
- Service & Working within the Team

PCRs are filed with the Dean of Student Affairs and becomes part of the student file.
Outcomes in these situations will be consistent with published university policy (see OUHSC Faculty Handbook, Appendix C - Student Professional Behavior in an Academic Setting.)
