Recognizing and addressing non-financial barriers to oral healthcare for vulnerable populations (IN-PERSON)

AM session: Please choose this section if you are planning to attend the course in-person

The recent implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan is meant to provide financial support for specific individuals and populations who require oral healthcare. However, literature indicates there are many non-financial barriers to oral healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations, that contribute to poor oral health and oral health disparities. This course will explore how various structural and social determinants of health, such as language, gender, and culture, impact access to oral healthcare. Participants will gain knowledge that will allow them to recognize and develop strategies to overcome barriers to care, thereby increasing oral healthcare access and decreasing oral health disparities.

At the end of this course, participants will:

  • Recognize structural and social determinants of health.
  • Understand how structural and social determinants of health impact access to oral healthcare.
  • Develop strategies to minimize non-financial barriers to oral healthcare.
  • Increase their ability to provide culturally sensitive care to vulnerable populations.
