Seeking Proposals: Education and Upgrading Consultant and Communications Consultant for Enhancing Access to Dental Technology Project II https://cdto.ca/seeking-proposals-education-and-upgrading-and-communications-consultant-for-enhancing-access-to-dental-technology-project-ii/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=seeking-proposals-education-and-upgrading-and-communications-consultant-for-enhancing-access-to-dental-technology-project-ii&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=seeking-proposals-education-and-upgrading-and-communications-consultant-for-enhancing-access-to-dental-technology-project-ii https://cdto.ca/seeking-proposals-education-and-upgrading-and-communications-consultant-for-enhancing-access-to-dental-technology-project-ii/#respond Tue, 03 Dec 2024 19:20:06 +0000 https://cdto.ca/?p=79071 In a significant move to streamline dental technology regulation and credential recognition across Canada, the Canadian Alliance of Dental Technology Regulators (CADTR) has announced its latest initiative. CADTR, an alliance comprising six provincial dental technology regulators, collectively licenses 2,100 professionals nationwide. Its members include the Nova Scotia Dental Technicians Association, New Brunswick Dental Technicians Association, Ordre des technologues en prothèses et appareils dentaires du Québec, College of Dental Technologists of Ontario, College of Dental Technologists of Alberta, and the British Columbia College of Oral Health Professionals.

CADTR plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public health by ensuring that dental technologists aspiring for registration meet stringent educational and professional competence standards. This initiative is supported by a letter of endorsement from all CADTR members, underscoring their unified commitment to maintaining high standards in the profession.

A significant part of CADTR’s mission involves providing credential evaluation and competency assessment services for both Canadian and international dental technologists seeking licensure in Canada. This process entails a comprehensive review of the applicants’ education and professional experience to ensure it aligns with or closely matches Canadian dental technology program standards. Furthermore, CADTR oversees the Dental Technology Entry-to-Practice Assessment (DTETPA), an essential evaluation for assessing the preparedness of domestic and international professionals for independent dental technology practice in Canada.

The College of Dental Technologists of Ontario (CDTO) has been awarded funding by the Government of Canada through the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) Foreign Credential Recognition Program (FCRP). This funding will support the administration of the Access to Dental Technology (ADT) II project over three years, representing a collaborative effort on behalf of CADTR.

As part of this initiative, CADTR is currently seeking an Education and Upgrading Consultant and a Communications Consultant to support the ADT II project. These roles are integral to advancing prior learning recognition methods and effectively integrating internationally educated dental technologists into the Canadian workforce, enhancing the profession’s standards, and ensuring consistent, high-quality dental healthcare across the country.
