ORAL HEALTH AMALGAMATION BC

In BC, health profession regulatory colleges are responsible for ensuring that regulated health professionals provide services in a safe, competent and ethical manner. They set standards of practice, set and maintain standards of education and training, and hold professionals to account through complaints investigation and discipline processes. Regulatory colleges also set and enforce standards of competence and conduct for the professions they regulate... BC has 18 regulatory colleges established under BC's Health Professions Act, which provides a common regulatory framework for 25 health professions. The six oral health professions are currently regulated by four separate regulatory colleges... Having a single oral health regulator will promote team-based dental care, and provide one point of contact for patients, the public and registrants alike.
