dental assisting students

Please consider giving feedback on the CTE Dental Assisting program including comments and/or concerns on curriculum, facility, work experience procedures, or any other aspects of our program delivery concerning the accreditation standards. You may want to provide comments as they pertain to the program's strength or an area of needed improvement. 

All comments must relate to accreditation standards for the discipline and/or accreditation policies. 

A copy of the Commission’s policy on third-party comments can be obtained by visiting the Site Visit Process page on the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) website.  View the entire policy on Third Party Comments in the Evaluation & Operational Policies & Procedures manual (PDF).

A copy of the CODA dental assisting accreditation standard can be found on their website. 

We expect a visiting Commission on Dental Accreditation team in May 2024.  All comments relative to the Center for Technology, Essex dental assisting program being visited, will be due in the Commission office no later than 60 days before each program’s site visit to allow time for the program to respond.  Negative comments received after the deadline of 60 days before the site visit will be handled as a complaint.

Please send your comments directly to a Commission on Dental Accreditation staff member via email.  

Thank you for your cooperation and support.  

Sincerely, 

Beth Ladd and Chris Ianni
Dental Assisting Program Directors
