Practice Standards and Guidance

Our practice-related resources provide important guidance for oral health professionals in meeting the standards of practice. Oral health professionals are responsible for reading BCCOHP’s publications to ensure they are aware of current news and of BCCOHP policies, standards and guidelines.

All current requirements for standards of clinical and ethical practice issued by the legacy colleges remain in place upon amalgamation.

These documents will be updated to harmonize the expectations for oral health professionals and to reflect the BCCOHP Bylaws.
