Peer Review

The Peer Review Committee meets once a year and is open to any member volunteer who has been practicing for at least five years. The committee operates within the WSDA Peer Review Procedure Manual and provides free mediation for patients who have quality of care concerns about a member's treatment. Patients are able to start Peer Review cases by either contacting SKCDS by phone or submitting a Patient Complaint through the WSDA Portal.

Continuing Education Classes

To renew their dental license, a dentist is required by the Washington State Legislature (WAC 246-817-440) to complete 63 hours of continuing education every three years. SKCDS sponsors several continuing education classes each year; to peruse and register for upcoming eligible programs, click here.
