What does the AGD mean when they indicate that a provider is a sole provider?
The AGD defines sole providers as organizations where one or two lecturers or authors act as the primary administrative authority. The AGD accepts applications for PACE approval from sole providers, but sole providers must develop a planning committee that meets regularly, and at least one member of the committee must be a dentist not directly affiliated with the organization. The committee must maintain minutes from its meetings and the minutes of the meetings should be attached to the PACE application when applying for participation and continued participation. Sole providers also are required to submit a copy of the instructor(s) curriculum vitae (CV) with each application.
