General Information

112.3 Registration and Licensing

112.3.1 DDS Degree

    The Department of Dentistry of the University is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.

    Regulations regarding the practice of dentistry in any other province in Canada may be obtained by writing to the dental registrar of that province. Contact information is available from the Canadian Dental Association (www.cda-adc.ca).

    Senior students of dental programs approved by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada must write the National Dental Examining Board examinations during their final year. Successful completion of these examinations is required for licensure.

    Graduates are also eligible to write licencing examinations in most of the states in the United States and the examinations of the National Board of Dental Examiners of the American Dental Association.

    The Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree and the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree (granted by some Canadian and United States universities) are equivalent degrees.

112.3.2 Dental Hygiene Diploma/Bachelor of Science (Dental Hygiene Specialization)

    A diploma/Bachelor of Science (Dental Hygiene Specialization) degree does not, in itself, confer the right to practise. A dental hygienist desiring to practise dental hygiene in Canada should consult the appropriate provincial licencing body. Contact information is available from the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association (www.cdha.ca).

112.3.3 Registration to Practise

    The Registrar of the Alberta Dental Association and College may refuse to issue a license and/or registration certificate to practise dentistry to any applicant with a criminal record. Likewise, the Alberta Dental Hygienists Association may refuse to issue a license and/or registration certificate to practise dental hygiene to any applicant with a criminal record.

112.3.4 BSc in Radiation Therapy

    The Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) is the organization that provides the national certification examination and competency profile. Students are eligible to access the CAMRT examination upon completion of all program requirements. Under the Alberta Health Professions Act, radiation therapists must be licensed by the regulatory college, Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (ACMDTT) to practice in Alberta. The ACMDTT endorses the CAMRT national examination as the certifying examination.

    After successful completion of the CAMRT national certification examination, graduates are eligible to access the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists’ (ARRT) certification examination.
