Our History

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.

While working in medical risk management, our founder, Linda Harvey, recognized a striking gap: the robust resources and training common in medicine were largely absent in dentistry. That realization sparked the beginning of her mission.

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.

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.
