Custom Name Tags at UDHA Annual Session

Are you coming/thinking of coming to the UDHA Annual Session on October 7th? We'd love to have you! You can also purchase you very own custom name tag to wear at work to be able to pick up at registration. This is the perfect tag to take to each of your offices. Make sure you add it on to your registration when you sign up for the convention. Or, if you have already registered and missed your chance, see the link below. Order them for your entire office for Christmas!

Interstate Compacts & License Portability

The Council of State Governments (CSG) is partnering with the Department of Defense (DoD), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) to support the mobility of licensed dentists and dental hygienists through the development of a new interstate compact. This compact will create reciprocity among participant states, and reduce the barriers to license portability.

The initial draft of the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact is now online and the public comment period will begin next week. CSG will be hosting weekly Zoom review sessions to explain the compact section by section, on Wednesdays at 1 pm ET beginning August 3. The registration link for these sessions is below. We encourage comments, questions and suggestions on compact language to be submitted via the feedback survey to ensure comments are captured.

Survey link will be posted on the webpage below during the first week of August.

Thanks again for your participation in the development of the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact!
