Dentist Advisory Panel Member

Created by dentists, CDSPI is a not-for-profit financial services organization with the mission to provide a broad and meaningful range of customized financial solutions to the dental community, covering every facet of their lives. Our corporate purpose is to arrange for programs for the benefit of dentists who are members of CDSPI’s member associations, and their families and employees.

CDSPI helps dentists and dental students achieve and maintain financial well-being by empowering them to protect and grow their wealth with customized financial advice, insurance, and investments though all stages of their lives and careers. As part of the dental community for over 60 years, CDSPI has an intimate understanding and appreciation of the unique needs of a dentist - as a businessperson, as a health care provider and as an individual.  This understanding is derived from our strong relationships with the dental associations, our singular focus on dentists, our client insights program and input from our Advisory Panel.

Our vision to be the #1 choice in the Canadian dental community for advice, and tailored insurance and investment solutions. We welcome Advisory panel members who would like to play an important part in helping us fulfill our mission and achieve our vision.

About the Panel 

To ensure that our services remain relevant, comprehensive, and tailored to the needs of dentists, CDSPI established an Advisory Panel consisting of experienced and passionate dentists who collaborate with us to shape our offerings and support the financial well-being of the dental community.

The CDSPI Advisory Panel was formed to provide CDSPI with relevant perspectives from dentists across Canada who represent the diversity of the dental community.  As the name suggests, the Panel is advisory in nature; Panel members provide feedback and insights on the profession and its ecosystem to help CDSPI make better decisions and improve the overall client experience. Input on CDSPI products, services and tactical initiatives from Advisory Panel Members plays a significant role in ensuring CDSPI continues to offer best in class financial solutions to the dental community.
