One of the three main ways BCCOHP protects the public is by ensuring that all regulated oral health professionals are supported in the provision of safe oral health care throughout their careers. This work is carried out through our Quality Assurance Program (QAP).
Resources on the modernized QAP for oral health professionals in BC are available below.
The Self‑Inventory Supports page is designed to help you reflect on your current practice, identify challenges, and explore options that may foster your professional growth. Aligned with your responses in Component A, the Self‑Inventory Survey of the QA Program, these supports offer guidance as you consider areas where you may want to strengthen your knowledge, skills, and abilities or seek additional support.
Setting professional goals is an important part of maintaining safe, ethical, and responsible care. As part of Component A of the QAP, oral health professionals are encouraged to reflect on insights from their Self‑Inventory and Standards Self‑Reflection to create professional goals for the upcoming year.
This resource provides guidance on what strong, meaningful professional goals can look like and offers examples of goal‑setting approaches to help you structure your goals with clarity and purpose. You may choose the approach that works best for you, as long as your goals support your professional development.
As you move through Component A, from reflecting on your Self‑Inventory and Standards Self‑Reflection to creating 2–3 personalized professional goals, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) becomes the pathway for achieving them. To help you choose CPD activities that meaningfully support your goals and align with your practice context, the CPD resources page provides clear guidance on the types of activities that can form part of your learning plan and annual self‑report.
