In January, the BC College of Oral Health Professionals (BCCOHP) held a board election for two registrant or certified dental assistant board member positions. Of the 12 members on the Board, half are elected, and half are appointed (public) members. In this election period, certified dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, dental therapists, dentists and denturists were invited to consider nomination for the Board.
Thank you to all our candidates, and to those who voted, for participating in the 2025 election.
The following oral health professionals have been elected to serve on the BCCOHP Board for a three-year term beginning April 1, 2025.
