General Meeting Information - COMDA generally meets in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, or San Diego, in order to receive input from as many members of the public as possible.

COMDA normally holds its meetings the day prior to the Dental Board meeting, to enhance communication between COMDA and Board members, normally 4 times per year.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend all sessions except those that are specifically designated as “closed sessions”, as provided by the Government Code to assure exam security. Agenda notices are sent to those persons who have indicated an interest in the activities of the Committee.  You can place your name on the mailing list by emailing your name and address.

- Appropriate scopes of practice
- Relevance and validity of examination requirements and content
- Efficiency of examination processes
