Dental residency program review Published Aug. 3, 2011 By 81st Training Wing Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- The Commission on Dental Accreditation is reviewing the general practice and endodontics residency programs of the 81st Medical Group Nov. 15-16. Third-party comments from students and patients are solicited by CODA until Sept. 15, 60 days prior to the scheduled review. Such comments must pertain only to the standards for the particular program or policies and procedures used in the commission's accreditation process. A copy of the appropriate accreditation standards and/or the commission's policy on third-party comments may be obtained by contacting the commission at 211 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611, or by calling (800) 621-8099, extension 4653. Many of the CODA standards and policies also are available at the American Dental Association's website at www.ada.org/100.aspx. Comments are screened by commission staff for relevancy. For comments not relevant to these issues, the individual is notified that the comment is not related to accreditation and, where appropriate, referred to the appropriate agency. For local questions, consult the program directors or the 81st DS Residency Flight Commander, 606 Fisher Street, Keesler AFB, MS 39535, or call 376-5190.
