1 00:00:02,049 --> 00:00:04,800 Is by the American Dental Association . 2 00:00:04,809 --> 00:00:07,480 It's an accredited body . It's called 3 00:00:07,489 --> 00:00:10,199 the Commission of Dental Accreditation . 4 00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:13,180 So it's a body that comes in and it 5 00:00:13,189 --> 00:00:15,356 goes over the standards that we , that 6 00:00:15,356 --> 00:00:17,139 we discussed . And within those 7 00:00:17,149 --> 00:00:19,620 standards , it evaluates the program 8 00:00:19,629 --> 00:00:21,629 from the bottom up . You're talking 9 00:00:21,629 --> 00:00:23,740 about the curriculum , you're talking 10 00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:25,629 about scholarly activity , you're 11 00:00:25,629 --> 00:00:27,851 talking about the credentials and the , 12 00:00:27,851 --> 00:00:30,530 and , and the ability to have uh what 13 00:00:30,540 --> 00:00:32,707 our residents are doing at that time , 14 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,527 I went through a Cota accreditation as 15 00:00:35,527 --> 00:00:37,880 1/4 year resident . And so now being on 16 00:00:37,889 --> 00:00:40,056 the other side of staff , it's good to 17 00:00:40,056 --> 00:00:42,209 go and see what makes these 18 00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:44,331 accreditations and how much work goes 19 00:00:44,331 --> 00:00:46,450 behind the scenes . This is really a 20 00:00:46,459 --> 00:00:48,799 measuring stick for us , our program 21 00:00:48,810 --> 00:00:51,069 and our residency as a whole . And so 22 00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:54,970 we received really good remarks from 23 00:00:54,979 --> 00:00:57,257 everything without any recommendations , 24 00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:59,368 which is a real sign that we're doing 25 00:00:59,368 --> 00:00:59,849 things correctly .
