title: Why our ethics curricula do work.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to respond to Dr. Charles Bertolami's article "Why Our Ethics Curricula Don't Work" in the April 2004 issue of the Journal of Dental Education. This article analyzes the arguments put forth by Bertolami and challenges his assumptions and conclusions. Several examples are given of the ways in which our current ethics curricula do, in fact, work.
