The COVID-19 pandemic policy for CE requirements for Dentists and Dental Hygienists, which was adopted for the 2020-2021 biennium and extended to the 2022-2023 biennium has expired. This policy previously permitted that portion of a licensee’s CE hours which were required to be “in-person at an on-site course or seminar to be completed via live, instructor-led virtual courses or seminars.”

RESUMING JANUARY 1, 2024, FOR THE 2024-2025 BIENNIUM, “LIVE, INSTRUCTOR-LED VIRTUAL COURES OR SEMINARS” WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF THAT PORTION OF THE CE REQUIREMENT REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED “IN-PERSON AT AN ON-SITE COURSE OR SEMINAR.”
