The Dentist in Film: Beneath the Comedy and the Horror, was presented by Howie Movshovitz, PhD, Film Critic at KUNC and Film and Television Lecturer at CU Denver. Dentists have historically been portrayed in film as either farcical or evil. How did this notion evolve, and what is the impact on public perception? This April 29, 2024 National Collaborative on Humanities and Ethics in Dentistry event was moderated by Catherine Flaitz DDS, MS with additional commentary from Christine Slobogin, PhD, Assistant Assistant Professor of Health Humanities and Bioethics at the University of Rochester.
