PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT / CONTINOUS LEARNING
The College of Denturists of Ontario is committed to continuous learning amongst the professional members of the College. In order to promote continuous learning the Quality Assurance Committee is developing a series of distance learning modules for members.
Upon successful completion of each module the member has the option of printing off a certificate of completion to file with their Self-assessment form, which members are required to complete annually. Members may revisit each of the modules as often as required to pass the questionnaire.
Follow the link below to subscribe to the Distance Continuous Learning. You will be required to provide your name and email address and to create a password for access to the Distance Continous Learning modules.
