Chris Hacker | Registrar & CEO
Chris is the Registrar & CEO of the BC College of Oral Health Professionals (BCCOHP) — the regulatory body responsible for overseeing BC’s certified dental assistants, dental therapists, dental hygienists, dental technicians, denturists and dentists.
With over three decades as a practising dentist, Chris transitioned to regulation in 2011, where he took on a series of progressively senior roles until his appointment to lead the oral health amalgamation project in 2021. His outstanding regulatory leadership and capacity for transformative change were instrumental in bringing the province’s oral health colleges together to form BCCOHP in 2022.
Appointed to the permanent leadership position for the newly amalgamated College in December 2022, he is proud to support an amazing staff team in their regulatory oversight role of the almost 16,000 oral health professionals – and in the next phases of their journey to modernize health professions regulation, ensuring safe care for the public and patients who call BC home.

Led by the Registrar & CEO, BCCOHP’s staff team manages the organization’s daily operational activities according to the strategic direction set by the Board. Since 2022, we’ve been working to modernize how we regulate—and that’s meant evolving how we’re structured to establish clearly defined accountabilities that overlap and flow from individual staff members outward through leadership, to the Registrar & CEO, the Board, the Ministry of Health, and ultimately, to the public.
This video shares BCCOHP’s vision for how we work together: a shift to a more agile structure designed to support collaboration, clarify roles, and help us stay focused on protecting the public.
