Complaint Review Committees (CRC) & Hearing Tribunals

Complaints Review Committee and Hearing Tribunal

  • As part of its responsibilities under the Health Professions Act (HPA), the College maintains a roster of registrants to serve on Complaint Review Committees (CRC) and Hearing Tribunals (HT). These committees and tribunals play a critical role in supporting the College's obligations related to professional conduct matters, ensuring that Dental Technologists and Dental Technicians are held to the highest standards of practice. The CRC and HT have the authority to make decisions as outlined in the HPA.

    Committee Activities:

    • Play a critical role in supporting the College's obligations related to professional conduct matters.
    • Ensure that dental technologists and technicians are held to the highest standards of practice.

  • Not be an officer or senior employee of a professional association or labour union that represents members of the dental technology profession.
