REFRESHER MODULES
The Comprehensive Refresher Program modules were developed by a team of BC Dental Hygiene educators. This self-study review program has been tailored to suit all dental hygienists – from those who completed their dental hygiene education many years ago, right up to the most recent graduates. This refresher program is flexible and can be customized to give you just what you need. It consists of 21 self-study modules, with each module focussing on a specific area of dental hygiene practice. These modules help hygienists to both prepare for the CDHBC’s QAP Assessment Tool, and to address individual learning goals. Originally developed in 2012, these modules have been re-written to include up-to-date information and address current QAP criteria. These modules are sold as downloadable pdf documents.
For a limited time only, modules are on sale for $25 each at SHOP BCDHA.

In his sophomore year, Robbie coordinated an Autism Day at his high school and created a video to help others understand it better. It was a great success across the school district, and Autism Day was held again in his junior and senior years.
