Continuing education credits

The American Dental Education Association is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider.

ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providers of continuing dental education. ADA CERP does not approve or endorse individual courses or instructors, nor does it imply acceptance of credit hours by boards of dentistry.

American Dental Education Association designates this activity for continuing education credits. Credits vary per educational session.

Please reference agendas for detailed information. Contact hours are earned by attending sessions in their entirety and completing the post-conference evaluation, which will be emailed to participants. Once the evaluation closes, a CE verification form will be sent to you within 30 days via email.

Concerns or complaints about a CE provider may be directed to the provider or to ADA CERP at www.ada.org/goto/cerp.

To receive CE credit, you must complete the evaluation process for all eligible attended sessions. All sessions are listed by date and time. Please click on the appropriate time slot in order to select and evaluate your sessions. Only sessions that offer CE credit will appear in the individual session evaluation. The deadline to complete the evaluation and receive CE credit is Monday, May 3, 2011.

The evaluation process is electronic only.
