CE/CERP
The Florida Dental Association is approved as a continuing education sponsor by the Florida Board of Dentistry. The Florida Dental 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.
Concerns or complaints about a CE provider may be directed to the provider or to the Commission for Continuing Education Provider Recognition at ADA.org/CERP.
CEU Verification
CE verification is automatically provided for all attendees. To receive credit for course attendance, attendees must scan their badge upon entering and exiting each course. The system will calculate the amount of time an attendee was present and award the credit appropriately. Per the Florida Board of Dentistry, in order to receive one hour of CE credit, attendees must be present in a course a minimum of 50 of 60 minutes.
CEU Reporting
All verified course attendance for the 2024 convention will be automatically reported to CE Broker for Florida-licensed attendees no later than July 22, 2024. Credit will not be reported to CE Broker for non-credit (NC) courses. Attendees will be notified once credit has been reported to CE Broker. Each state varies on what is accepted for continuing education and those courses can be self-reported to your reporting entity after the event, should your organizing Board of Dentistry accept those courses.
CEU Certificates
FDC2024 attendees will be emailed their CE certificates automatically by June 24, 2024. Attendees also can print their certificate at CE stations during the convention. CE certificates will include all verified course attendance. Non-credit (NC) courses will be listed as zero hours. Only credit for full course attendance will be automatically added to your CE certificate. Credit for partial course attendance will be reviewed and added to certificates and reported to CE Broker no later than July 22, 2024. Attendees will be sent an updated CE certificate once partial credit has been added.
