About the Institute

Since 2014, the Dental Compliance Institute (DCI) has provided dental professionals, including dentists, hygienists, assistants, and office managers with comprehensive and up to date training, education, and certification regarding OSHA and HIPAA regulations as well as dental risk management.

By remaining true to our mission, DCI has earned the distinction of being dentistry’s trusted resource for training, education, and certification for risk management and regulatory compliance. This is exemplified by our membership in Quality Matters™, an international organization dedicated to the quality assurance of online education, and our commitment to achieving QM recognition for our Advanced Courses.

In addition to our Train-the-Trainer courses, there are three levels of participation in the Dental Compliance Institute, general membership, student membership and alumni. General memberships are less than a weekly cup of coffee at your favorite coffee shop! Student members are actively taking a course and Alumni are graduates of a DCI course. Whether you are interested in membership only for starters or taking a course to elevate your compliance career, there's a perfect level for you!

The Dental Compliance Institute is The Leader in Regulatory and Risk Management Education and Certification

Emerging integrative healthcare models combined with technology advancements make this an exciting time for dentistry. Yet, it’s easy for today’s dental professional to be overwhelmed by new acronyms, laws, and regulations, when you would much rather be caring for patients. OSHA’s July 2026 Hazard Communication compliance deadline, combined with the 21st Century Cures Act 2026 enforcement, and surging ransomware threats, has reshaped compliance in dentistry. The Dental Compliance Institute provides the clarity and support you need to stay ahead.
