ADA CERP UPDATEIn keeping with new revisions to ADA CERP standards, the New York State Dental Foundation has formed a CE Advisory Committee to provide input on goals, objects and content of its continuing education program. The members of the Committee, will meet periodically throughout the year.
In addition to advising the Foundation on CE, the Committee will periodically review providers’ CE mission/goals, participate in periodic assessments of the effectiveness of the overall CE program, and participate in conflict of interest screenings processes. |
