There are thousands of dollars in prizes to be awarded courtesy of CDHA PLUS travel grants to CDHA’s 2020 Yukon Summit. Championed by your oral health defender CDHA and sponsored by Sensodyne®, the competition runs from February 1 to May 11.Please help us unmask these special superheroes.

A contract outlines the expectations of both the workplace and the worker. Similarly, a workplace harassment policy details what harassment, bullying, and abuse are and what steps an employee can take if they experience or witness such incidents. CDHA has resources to help you develop harassment policies and contract templates for your dental office as well as a new resource that outlines steps to help you negotiate a compensation package. These are all available in the new healthy and respectful workplace area of our website.
