Continuing Competency
The NSRDHDTD is working to establish a modernized quality assurance program for all of their oral health professionals. This is a key initiative and is expected to be a multi-year project.
The quality assurance programs developed by the legacy regulators that came together to form the NSRDHDTD remained in place upon amalgamation and are currently under review. These will remain in force until a new quality assurance program is developed.
The NSRDHDTD's Quality Assurance (QA) Program helps ensure the public is well-served by competent oral healthcare professionals.
To ensure continuing competence, oral health professionals are required to complete a minimum number of continuing education credits and other profession-specific requirements as part of their QA Program cycles.
