NEW YORK STATE DENTAL CONTINUED EDUCATION GUIDELINES
New Dentists in First Year
Your residency program counts as 60 CE credits AND you are responsible for taking the courses mandated by New York State before your license expires.
Licensed Dentists
New York State’s Mandatory Continuing Education law requires that a dentist obtain at least 60 credit hours of continued education every three years. Qualified courses are determined by The New York State Education Department.
HOW TO GET CE CREDITS WITH GLIDM
Requirements for each three-year registration period:
- 60 total continuing education credit hours. 18 out of the 60 credits can be home study
- New York State Mandated Infection Control course (once every 4 years)
- CPR course: certification must be current at all times (varies 1-3 years). CPR must be taken in person.
Courses requiring one time completion:
- New York State Mandated Ethics and Jurisprudence course
- New York State Mandated Tobacco Cessation/Oral Cancer course
- New York State Mandated Child Abuse course
Practice Management courses are not accepted by the State Education Department and cannot count towards the 60-credit total.
Dental Hygienists
Dental hygienists holding a New York State license are required under New York State Law to fulfill 24 continuing education credit hours every 3-year registration period.
More information about courses and requirements can be found at the New York State Education Department.
