Become a CAD Director | CAD

What is the CAD and What Would I Be Joining?

Our mandate is to review educational programs using a defined set of program requirements and site visits; each site visit is made following the submission and review of a detailed report by the program on stated requirements. This committee ensures a high and uniform national standard of education for graduates of all Canadian Denturist/Denturologiste Programs.
