For your convenience, the CSDA CE Council has decided to begin offering a morning CE verification code worth 3.5 credits at all of the Package Program courses. This will allow you to still get partial credit if you cannot stay until the end of the program. If you do stay for the full day, you will need both the AM and PM codes to obtain the seven (7) hours of credit. If you are a CSDA member dentist, you will still have your ADA card swiped in the morning as you enter the lecture hall. As always, as long as you have your ADA card swiped, the courses you attend will be added to your online CE transcript accessible through CSDA.com. Paper CE Forms are always made available on-site for those who need or want a hard copy. Please note: It is your responsibility to make note of the verification code(s) in order to prove your attendance to any professional/governing organization that may request your continuing education records. Codes are not given out at any other time after the course is completed. PRICING INFORMAITON Register for single courses or the entire Package Program for the best value!

Click Here for Mandatory Continuing Education for Dentists in CT. -Determining Your Continuing Education Deadline – Sample Scenario- Based on the State of CT’s statute concerning licensed dentists, each licensee must complete a minimum of 25 hours every two years (including the five mandatory topics), commencing on the first day of license renewal. Each licensee is on a different renewal and CE cycle and it is based on date of birth. Here is a sample scenario: Dr. D’s date of birth is 3/10/70. According to the law, he must be in compliance with CEU requirements as of his first license renewal after 10/1/07. Dr. D’s first license renewal after 10/1/07 would be the one due on 3/31/08 (the license due date is always the last day of the licensee’s month of birth). Therefore, his first two-year CEU period would end on 3/31/08. During the two years ending on 3/31/08, he would need to have completed all 25 contact hours, including the five mandatory topics (one hour each). The next two-year CEU period would end on 3/31/10. Again, all 25 contact hours, including the five mandatory topics, would need to be completed within the two years ending on 3/31/10. After that, the cycle continues on 3/31/12, 3/31/14, etc. This example can be applied to any practitioner by first determining when the individual’s first license renewal after 10/1/07 would have occurred. That date is the end date of the first two-year CEU period for that practitioner. If you have any questions, please contact the CSDA Central Office: (860) 378-1800.
