Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority, Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the University of Saskatchewan partner to establish sole dental therapy program in Canada

A new partnership between the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority (NITHA), Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the University of Saskatchewan (USask) has been awarded $150,000 by Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) to create a model for establishing the only accredited dental therapy program in Canada.

Update - November 9th, 2021:

The USask College of Dentistry, along with our partners Sask Polytech School of Health Sciences and the Northern Inter-Tribal Health Authority, continue our work on developing a proposal for the establishment of a Dental Therapy program for Saskatchewan. We would inform you that despite an earlier communication announcing that the program would begin accepting applications in March 2022 this date has been changed.

Please visit our website for progress updates beginning March 2022.
