GDA - Your Home for Required CE Courses
Dentists are required to have at least 40 hours of continuing education (for hygienists the requirement is 22) by the end of 2023 in order to renew your license. F
or more on the requirements click here.
Of those 40 hours, at least one hour must be a course on opioids. New for 2023, at least one of those hours must pertain to laws, ethics and professionalism which we term LEAP CE.
Sedation permit holders must have at least four hours in pharmacology, anesthesia, emergency medicine or sedation.
Below are GDA courses that will help you meet these requirements.
