Registration

Registration Policy: Team Members vs. Independent Allied Health Professionals

To ensure fair and consistent application of registration fees, all participants must register under the category that accurately reflects their professional and employment status.

1. Team Member Registration

Team member pricing is available to eligible employees of a registered doctor who attend the course with their employing or supervising doctor.

Any allied health professional employed by a dental practice is classified as a team member, regardless of their professional credentials or clinical role.

This includes, but is not limited to, registered dental hygienists, speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, and other allied health providers employed by a dental practice.

Team members must attend the course with their employing or supervising doctor to qualify for team member pricing.

Team member pricing may not be used by an employee to register independently or attend without their associated doctor.

2. Independent Allied Health Professional Registration

The reduced allied health professional rate is reserved exclusively for independently practicing allied health providers who operate through their own independent business entity.

To qualify for this rate, the provider must:

Maintain their own independent business entity.

Not be employed by a dental practice.

Register and purchase under their own business entity rather than through a dental practice's team member registration.

Eligibility is based on the individual's actual employment and business status.

Allied health professional registrations do not include access to course recordings, replays, or other recorded educational content.

3. Eligibility Verification and Enforcement

ASAP Pathway reserves the right to verify employment status, professional affiliation, and independent business ownership to confirm registration eligibility.

If a participant registers under an incorrect category, ASAP Pathway reserves the right to adjust the registration fee to the applicable rate or deny discounted registration if the eligibility requirements are not met.

Registration categories are nontransferable and may not be used to obtain discounted pricing or educational access for which a participant does not qualify.

By registering, participants acknowledge and agree to these terms.
