Manager, Recognized Product Program

Founded in 1925, the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) represents over 800 certified dermatologists across Canada. The association advances the science and art of medicine and surgery related to the care of the skin, hair, and nails, by providing continuing professional development for its members, supporting and advancing patient care, and raising awareness through public education campaigns. The National Office manages a budget of over $3 million with an Ottawa-based team of professionals.

Currently, the CDA requires an experienced Manager, Recognized Product Program, a hybrid role at our Ottawa office.

Overview

The CDA has two long-established programs under its Product Recognition Program (PRP) to help consumers find sunscreen and skin health products that meet high standards defined by our dermatologist expert panel.

The Skin Health Program (SHP) recognizes skin care products that are fragrance-free or unscented, have low potential for irritation, and do not contain the most common allergens.

The Sun Protection Program (SPP) recognizes sunscreen products that meet a standard providing effective sun protection. Approved products in both programs are licensed to display a recognized program logo and statement for which a licensing fee is paid.

More information is available on our website HERE. These programs are valued by the CDA and industry and respected by Canadians. The PRP provides an important educational service to consumers and value for CDA members, helping navigate products that have been reviewed by dermatologists and display the CDA logo of recognition.
