WEBVTT 00:02.049 --> 00:04.800 Is by the American Dental Association . 00:04.809 --> 00:07.480 It's an accredited body . It's called 00:07.489 --> 00:10.199 the Commission of Dental Accreditation . 00:10.210 --> 00:13.180 So it's a body that comes in and it 00:13.189 --> 00:15.356 goes over the standards that we , that 00:15.356 --> 00:17.139 we discussed . And within those 00:17.149 --> 00:19.620 standards , it evaluates the program 00:19.629 --> 00:21.629 from the bottom up . You're talking 00:21.629 --> 00:23.740 about the curriculum , you're talking 00:23.740 --> 00:25.629 about scholarly activity , you're 00:25.629 --> 00:27.851 talking about the credentials and the , 00:27.851 --> 00:30.530 and , and the ability to have uh what 00:30.540 --> 00:32.707 our residents are doing at that time , 00:33.360 --> 00:35.527 I went through a Cota accreditation as 00:35.527 --> 00:37.880 1/4 year resident . And so now being on 00:37.889 --> 00:40.056 the other side of staff , it's good to 00:40.056 --> 00:42.209 go and see what makes these 00:42.220 --> 00:44.331 accreditations and how much work goes 00:44.331 --> 00:46.450 behind the scenes . This is really a 00:46.459 --> 00:48.799 measuring stick for us , our program 00:48.810 --> 00:51.069 and our residency as a whole . And so 00:51.810 --> 00:54.970 we received really good remarks from 00:54.979 --> 00:57.257 everything without any recommendations , 00:57.257 --> 00:59.368 which is a real sign that we're doing 00:59.368 --> 00:59.849 things correctly .
