Supplementary Membership Options
CDHA’s membership year is November 1 to October 31. Add-on purchases made after the renewal period opens in late July will be applied to the upcoming membership year and benefits can be accessed immediately. Fees are not prorated.
Independent Practice Network (IPN)
A strong independent practice community can work together to change the face of oral health care in
Canada.
Support
for CDHA’s independent practitioners is a high priority for the association. As we continue our efforts
to
advance
independent practice, we recognize that formal mobilization of the group will help move us forward so
the
Independent
Practice Network (IPN) was launched in 2014‒2015. The IPN is designed to meet your specific needs as a
member
of CDHA’s growing community of independent practice dental hygienists. By joining this exciting network,
you
will receive several exclusive benefits available ONLY to members of the IPN. Learn
more about the IPN.
While all members can purchase access to the independent practice network, individuals must
ensure they are able to practice
independently in accordance with their
regulatory
body
and have full active CDHA membership.
Educators' Community
CDHA is committed to supporting dental hygiene educators across the country and understands their needs
are
unique.
As a result, CDHA is pleased to offer a supplementary Educator membership to all current, retired and
aspiring dental hygiene educators. Both individual and institutional memberships are available.
Institutional Educator membership
Must be arranged by program director/coordinator. The fee schedule is based on the number of CDHA member
dental hygiene educators (full-time and part-time) the program director/coordinator
is enrolling from its institution.
