Public comments sought ahead of Advanced Education in General Dentistry accreditation visit

The Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at Wichita State will undergo national accreditation renewal by the Commission on Dental Accreditation May 20.

Part of the accreditation renewal requires the program to solicit third-party comments to communities of interest and the public including faculty, students, program administrators, dental-related organizations, patients and consumers. There is a deadline of 60 days prior to the site visit for receipt of third-party comments to the commission’s office.

Both signed and unsigned comments will be accepted, and names and signatures will be removed from comments before forwarding to the program. Comments must pertain only to the standards for the particular program or policies and procedures used in the commission’s accreditation process. A copy of the appropriate accreditation standard and the commission’s policy on third-party comments may be obtained by contacting the Commission by calling 312-440-4653 or by email. Individuals who are interested in submitting third party comments may contact the Commission office for submission guidance.

The deadline for receipt of comments is Friday, March 21.
