Purpose
To design a communications strategy that effectively
engages and informs the membership and the Academy’s
various stakeholders through e-mails, e-blasts, the website
and The Mirror, with the assistance of the Executive
Secretary and the Director of Operations.
Act, through the student reps at each Canadian Graduate
training program as their contacts with the academy. This
may involve the dissemination of information to the
students, answering any questions from the students, and
acting as the students advocate with the academy.
Administration and awarding of the Dr. Keith Titley
scholarship.
Creating the criteria, and implementing the new Dr.
Norman Levine Undergraduate Dental Student Award at
the Canadian dental schools.
We are the go to people for the students if they have any
questions or concerns.
The purpose of the liaison is to engage students in the US
that might not otherwise be aware of the benefits of CAPD
membership and of being part of the pediatric dental
community in Canada.
To propose future meeting cities to the Executive Council,
suggest candidates to Chair the Local Organizing
Committee, review the LOC guidelines from time to time
and ensure that recommendations from previous meetings
are documented.
To coordinate the venues, educational program, local
activities, entertainment and schedule for the Annual
Meeting in consultation with the Executive Director, with
the assistance of the Director of Operations, Executive
Secretary and Chair of the Scientific Committee.
The Oral Health Section advocates for and promotes
optimal oral health for infants, children and adolescents,
including children and youth with special health care
needs. This section also provides expertise and guidelines
for children and youth with special health care needs
through a number of programs including the provision of a
forum for discussion of important child and youth dental
health issues between the CPS and the CAPD/ACDP.
Committee of the CDA that examines topics and comes up
with knowledge based position statements and guidelines
that are recommended to the CDA Board for approval.
Ad Hoc Committee of the CDA with a mandate to look at
access to care for seniors, notably in LTC and in access to
care for infants, notably the age one visit. This is resulting
in the campaign to both dentists and the public on the
“First Tooth, First Visit – a time to celebrate”.
Reviews all of the accredited hospital dental services and
internships (dental residencies in Canada) to insure that
standards that are reflective of quality service and
education are met in accordance with CDAC.
