Accreditation Standards Threatened

This affects all hygienists and future hygienists.  The Council on Dental Accreditation (CODA) has been asked to consider removing the dental hygiene diagnosis language from our educational standards.  It's important they hear from all hygienists.  ODHA has written a letter (see home page) and CODHA has written a letter as well. These association letters represent the opinions of members only. If you are a non member you are not represented by these asssociations and its very important you write your own letter.  Please feel free to copy CODHA's letter and edit to your taste.  Respond by July 1, address is in the letter.
