Volunteering


Inspire. Give Back. Be Involved ... Volunteer!


People volunteer for a variety of reasons.If you have been thinking of becoming involved in organized dentistry, you may want to consider joining CDSBC's volunteer network.


We are currently building our network of dentists, certified dental assistants and members of the public who are interested in participating in the work of the College.


Volunteers can become involved by:
  • participating in working groups charged with specific time-limited mandates or tasks
  • becoming involved in short-term projects that require specific expertise and input from the dental community, such as reviewing practice guidelines or documents
  • instructing in CDSBC’s remediation program to help registrants improve their knowledge or practice
  • joining a CDSBC committee (minimum two-year term)


A question we sometimes hear is, “I submitted an application before. Why was I never called?” CDSBC considers factors such as expertise and experience, as well as demographic representation, when selecting volunteers. While we make an effort to involve as many individuals as possible, we are not always able to match the number of interested volunteers to the number of available vacancies or special projects. We do, however, keep all volunteer registrations on file as a resource.

For more details and information about the College, our committees and activities, please visit our website at www.cdsbc.org, “About Us”, “Committees”.


Please complete the Volunteer Application Form and return it to the College.


Additionally, you can complete a Volunteer Expense Claim Form for expenses incurred during your time spent as a volunteer. Refer to the CDSBC Expense Policy for Volunteers for further information.


Please note: You will need Adobe Reader 8 or higher to fill out the form. Then, simply save it and send it back to us.


You can fill in the form electronically and email it to info@cdsbc.org, or you can submit it via mail to the College.
