Changes to Maximum CE Credits

Effective January 1, 2008

One of the principles of continuing education programs for dentists and certified dental assistants is that courses have a significant connection to dentistry and enhance the registrant's competence to practise. To more accurately reflect this principle, the College adopted the following changes to the maximum allowable credits in two CE categories as reported in the Spring and Fall 2007 issues of the Sentinel:

• Dental Practice Management - to 30 credits from 54 for dentists, and to 18 credits from 22 for CDAs
  
• Non-Clinical Dental - to 15 credits from 20 for dentists, and unchanged for CDAs to a maximum of 12 credits
