The program is designed using the curriculum developed by the American Dental Association (ADA), ensuring alignment with national standards for CDHC competencies. CDHCs are community health workers with dental skills, and they are members of the dental team.

Their expertise links patients into available, but underutilized, dental care. CDHCs are trained to interact, with cultural competence, in the dentally underserved communities in which they work. They understand the people, language, and barriers to oral health in those communities; in many cases they already know the people with whom they will work. The CDHC training focuses on community outreach, coordination of care, educational and social interventions in the community, and prevention. The CDHC curriculum was developed by experts in education, public health, and dentistry to meet the core competencies. The educational components of the curriculum are designed for online delivery over an 8-month period, followed by the design and performance of a demonstration project for student skill development and evaluation. Elements of the CDHC program include: Basics of Public Health and Outreach Communication and Cultural Competence Motivational Interviewing Skills Legal and Ethical Issues Developing Advocacy and Intervention Programs
