    Limited To Dentists ONLY  

    All Thompson Okanagan dentists are cordially invited to attend the luncheon meeting.  Following the conclusion of the very short AGM, representatives from the BCDA will discuss the pressing issues at the forefront of dentistry in BC and Canada.

    Dentistry is evolving fast—and so are the challenges and opportunities that come with it. Join Dr. Jillian Belbin, the new President of the BC Dental Association (BCDA), and Dr. Salima Dadani, BCDA’s Director of Member Support, for a timely update on the key forces reshaping the profession across British Columbia and Canada.

    This session will cover the major changes impacting the dental profession today, including regulatory reforms, the continuing rollout of the Canadian Dental Care Plan, and emerging system-wide pressures. You’ll also gain insight into how BCDA is working to support members—through valuable benefits, strategic advocacy, solutions for staffing shortages, and resources to strengthen practice and business management.
