Careers

Who we are

The BC College of Oral Health Professionals (BCCOHP) is the regulatory body for all oral health professionals in BC. BCCOHP’s role is to protect the public and promote better health outcomes for patients. BCCOHP regulates 16,000 oral health professionals including certified dental assistants, dental therapists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, denturists and dentists. We protect the public in three main ways: 

  1. Ensuring that oral health professionals are able to practise competently 
  2. Setting standards for the delivery of safe and patient-centred oral health care 
  3. Investigating complaints about oral health professionals 

Our vision is to reimagine oral health care oversight in BC. We believe that everyone will be able to see themselves in our vision statement: patients/public, oral health care professionals, and those within BCCOHP.

Our mission is to safeguard the public from harm and discrimination by diligently overseeing safe, competent, ethical, and team-based oral health care, ensuring trustworthiness in our regulatory practices.

  • We put people first. We recognize that the most important resource in delivering our mission is the diversity and knowledge of people. 
  • We do what we say. We are committed to achieving meaningful outcomes for patients and the public, and to being transparent about our work and its impact.  
  • We get it done. We build credibility and trustworthiness through the quality of our regulatory work, while approaching new challenges with openness and curiosity.  
  • We take the long view. Through continuous improvement, we use our influence to make a positive impact today and in the future. 
  • Regulatory leadership: Identify strategic opportunities within regulatory modernization, including seamless transition to new governing legislation.
  • Cultural safety and humility: Uphold Indigenous rights and promote reconciliation through the regulation and delivery of oral health care.
  • Health equity and anti-discrimination: Prevent harm and discrimination to create equity in oral health care experience, delivery and outcomes.
  • Modernized regulatory functions: Unify core regulatory functions and establish patient-centred standards that prioritize patient safety and promote the public interest.
