The Georgia Dental Association has many benefits available to dental staff members. Dental staff can join the GDA as associate members through the CORPS Program. Staff can also participate in the Career Center and take part in volunteer activities throughout the year.
CORPS Program
CORPS (Creating Office Rapport through Positive Support) is a way for dental hygienists, dental assistants, front office personnel, and insurance staff to belong to an association. As a CORPS member, dental staff are entitled to personal and professional benefits. Read more about the program by clicking here.
Expanded Duties
A dental assistant can perform a variety of routine duties in the dental office as prescribed by Georgia of Board of Dentistry rules. Dental assistants may enroll in Expanded Duties training to increase their value to their dental employer. To read about the GDA Expanded Duties program, click here.
There are lots of opportunities for GDA dentists, spouses, and staff to volunteer and use their skills to reach out to patients and general members of the public. Visit the Volunteer Center to find out where volunteers are needed.
