STATUS CHANGE You must contact the College directly for instructions of which of the following forms to complete and submit to the College for the purpose of changing status.
INACTIVE PRACTICE CERTIFICATION · By choosing an Inactive status, the member may not fit, dispense, design, construct, repair or alter a denture until the College reinstates that member’s status to Active. In order to reinstate Active status, the member must inform the College in writing of their intent to resume practice and that member must ensure they have liability insurance in the minimum amount prior to resuming practice.
· If a member remains Inactive for an extended period and no longer meets the minimum required 1500 practice hours in the previous three years, their request to resume Active status will need to be reviewed by the Registration Committee, who may require upgrading prior to the resumption of Active status. This can delay the member’s return to practice significantly. Allow ample time for a Registration Committee review if one is required.
RESIGNATION DECLARATION · Members electing to resign their registration must complete and submit a resignation form to the College of Denturists of Ontario. · If a member chooses to resign, they may not fit, dispense, design, construct, repair or alter a denture.
