Chris Hacker
Registrar and CEO
Chris is the Registrar and 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.
