WELCOME FROM CONFERENCE CHAIR

Across the world, those that bear the greatest burden of oral disease tend to be members of socially and economically marginalized groups, and are generally the least likely to be able to afford care. In Canada, local initiatives aimed at benefiting the underserved are believed to eliminate or reduce affordability as a barrier to care and, as such, reduce associated inequities in oral health. The 2018 Canadian Association for Public Health Dentistry Annual Conference will encourage dialogue and promote discussions around locally-driven oral health care initiatives that aim to optimize universal access to care. The conference will give delegates the opportunity to listen to world-renowned speakers, attend oral presentations showcasing the best in dental public health research and initiatives across Canada, appraise poster presentations highlighting some of Canada's best local and national dental public health activities, and participate in a number of conference workshops.

The conference committee welcomes you to experience the West Coast vibe and its mild weather! Home of the White Caps, BC Lions and the Canucks, Vancouver is a vibrant, eclectic and friendly seaport city, surrounded by mountains and parks. It is one of the Canada’s densest and ethnically diverse cities, with a thriving art (remember to visit the Emily Carr University pf Art + Design) and theatre scenes, local cafes, outdoors adventures, and its unique neighbourhoods. The Vancouver Art Gallery, steps away for the CAPHD 2108 Conference venue at Robson Square, is known for its works by regional, national and international artists, while the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia houses preeminent First Nations collections. The Stanley Park and Queen Elizabeth Park will transport you to a greenland inside the city, while the seawall will let you soak up the sun at the seashore. Come and explore Vancouver this September 2018!

Universalism and Oral Health Care: Possible or Impossibly Contradictory?

Universalism” -- defined as concern for others without regard to national, tribal, or other allegiances – suggests that oral health care needs to be equally accessible to all. This principle is central to dental public health ideals and practice yet may be inherently contradictory because dental care cannot be successfully delivered “without regard” for individual identities that express themselves as social and behavioral health determinants.  Local solutions have traditionally focused on alternative workforce, payment, and delivery sites for the poor that raise concerns of “second tier” dentistry. Local solutions, instead, need to be focused on triage, risk reduction, and disease management because these consider each person holistically thereby being both Universal and individualized without risk of compromise. One such local solution for early childhood caries management, “MySmileBuddy,” will be offered as an example of both universalism and individualization in dental public health practice

Dr. Burton Edelstein, DDS, BA, MPH Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Burton L. Edelstein DDS MPH is Professor of Dental Medicine and

Health Policy & Management at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chair, Population Oral Health at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in New York City.

KEY NOTE SPEAKER II

Unviersalism, Public Health and the NHS-Reflections From Across the Pond. Health care systems around the world are under increasing pressure to meet the needs of their populations, address health inequalities and provide high quality care, all within tightly restrained budgets. This presentation will reflect on recent experiences from the UK on how dental services can respond to these challenges. A major focus of the presentation will be to consider universal health coverage (UHC) and its implications for oral health and dentistry. The World Health Organisation is heavily promoting UHC as an important policy shift for health care systems. What does UHC mean for dentistry in terms of population coverage, range of clinical/preventive services provided and out-of-pocket expenditure? This presentation will also consider the principles of proportionate universalism as a key policy option to address oral health inequalities. It is very apparent that current policy approaches to improving dental access and addressing oral health inequalities have largely failed. New more radical approaches are needed. Hopefully this presentation will provoke discussion, debate and ultimately action.

Equip and Health Equity Principles- Cultural Safety, Trauma and Violence Informed Care

Equip and health equity - cultural safety, trauma and violence informed care, harm reduction related to providing dental care to vulnerable populations. EQUIP Health Care is a broader program of research that consists of various projects focused on specific care areas – like Primary Health Care and Emergency Departments. EQUIP Health Care brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers and knowledge users from: nursing, medicine, population and public health, community health sciences, and information and media studies, and leaders in Indigenous health, women’s health, and emergency and primary health care. We can present the concepts and end with linking people to the KTE resources developed and the upcoming online modules, links below.

Dr. Bruce Wallace, BA, MSW, PhD

Assistant Professor, School of Social Work at University of Victoria. His research focuses on poverty, health and equity where he brings over twenty years of experiences with non-profit

agencies, often collaborating with consumer-led agencies focused on poverty, homelessness, health, mental health and substance use. He is a Collaborating Scientist with the Canadian Institute on Substance Use Research and Co-Chair of the Pacific Housing Research Network (PHRN). Bruce’s recent research has been responsive to the illegal

drug overdose emergency in BC as he co-leads several research initiatives including analysis of the implementation and impacts of the novel overdose prevention sites established in Victoria BC. Also, he is the principal investigator of a CIHR funded project “Closing the health equity gap: Implementing health equity in harm reduction responses to the opioid overdose crisis” in which he collaborates with AIDS Vancouver Island, Society of Living Illicit Drug Users (SOLID), and Victoria Cool Aid Society to explore the implementation of health equity in harm reduction – or equity-based harm reduction. Bruce teaches in both the graduate and undergraduate program, currently teaching policy and research courses.

Dr. Colleen Varcoe, RN, BSN, MEd, MSN, PhD

Professor at School of Nursing at UBC. She is the Nominated Principal Investigator for EQUIP Emergency and her research focuses on

women’s health with an emphasis on violence and inequity and the culture of health care, with aims to promote ethical practice and policy in the context of violence and inequity. Colleen is committed to creating more just and ethical health care while examining how the inequities of ethnicity, class, place and ability are central to violence against women. She is especially interested in advancing ethical healthcare policy and practice. Her various research projects converge to enhance practice and policy in the context of violence and inequity.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22

Universal Oral Health for First Nations in BC- What’s Culture Got to Do with It? In May 2011, BC First Nations leadership came together and collectively made the largest self-determination decision made in the province of BC - to take control over their own health and wellness.  Creation of the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), a first of its kind in Canada, is an institution created by First Nations people for First Nations people. Working to change 'the system' from sickness to wellness, the FNHA champions a holistic view of health and wellness that acknowledges and includes an individual’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.  These are intrinsically linked to an individual’s connections and relationships with family, community, culture, and land.  Join the First Nations Health Authority in a discussion on how this applies through an oral health lens – learning of the current state of equity as a result of colonialization and striving for the way forward through a First Nations approach.

Ms. Carol Yakiwchuk, DipDH, BScDHyg, MHS, RDH Manager, Oral Health, FNHA

In January 2016, Carol Yakiwchuk joined the FNHA as its Manager, Oral Health. Her passion is empowering First Nations people via a leading wellness-based, oral
