CE and COVID-19

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) is temporarily waiving its requirement that at least 42 hours of the CE credits completed for relicensure be from live, interactive courses. Instead, dentists whose licenses are due for renewal between March 1 and June 1, 2020 may complete ALL of their CE via self-study courses, as long as such courses are offered by an approved NYSED provider. All self-study courses completed must also be related to the professional practice of dentistry.
