Format
Each College Connect will be about different topics, based on what’s important and timely. We’re using a town hall approach so we can share information, get your feedback and answer your questions about things like:
- what’s new (for example, legislative changes, council decisions)
- rules and requirements for dental assistants, and how to meet them
- being a regulated health professional
- the College’s role and Council’s role
These sessions are a great opportunity for you to learn more about upcoming changes and what’s happening that impacts dental assisting practice. The sessions will be hosted by special guests, members of our Council and staff who are looking forward to connecting with you.
