Employers' Responsibilities

Reporting a termination or suspension

Under Section 90.1(2) of the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), employers must promptly report to the College of Dental Hygienists of Prince Edward Island (CDHPEI) if they suspend or terminate a dental hygienist—whether the engagement was full-time or part-time employment, or external (e.g., contractor or consultant)—due to misconduct, incompetence, or incapacity. This notification must be made to the College's Council without delay.

Please use this form to report a termination or suspension of a dental hygienist:
