“The Phantom of the Operatory”-Overview and Update in Pharmacology for Dental Professionals: Presented by Thomas A. Viola, R.Ph. C.C.P
Course Description:
Throughout the course of their everyday practice, dental professionals must frequently draw upon their knowledge of Pharmacology. However, armed with a relatively brief exposure to such vast subject matter, many dental professionals have difficulty retaining this knowledge throughout their career. This program will provide dental professionals with an overview of the basic principles of pharmacology and the classes of drugs used in the current therapy of most common disease states. Special emphasis will be given to drugs administered in dental practice, as well as to drugs which may impact dental healthcare.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this program, participants will be able to:
Speaker: Thomas Viola, R.Ph. C.C.P.
In addition to his daily practice of the profession of pharmacy, Thomas Viola also serves the dental professions as a clinical educator, published writer and professional speaker. Tom is a member of the faculty of eight colleges, as well as several national board exam review courses. He is a contributor to several dental professional journals, with pharmacology columns appearing regularly in General Dentistry, AGD Impact, Access Magazine and RDH Magazine.
