Our philosophy
The Vancouver College of Dental Hygiene Inc. believes students, clients, staff, faculty, and
the community in which we live and work, need to be treated with respect and that we all
need to work collaboratively to achieve high standards of dental education.
Students should recognize that clients are individuals with unique and diverse social,
physical, economic and cultural needs. They also have various demands, motivations, resources
and definitions of wellness. Students therefore, must develop competence in providing professional,
client-focused care to a diverse population of clients in various practice environments.
